Is it possible that the pattern is a pre-1600 pattern? I ask because the name and "Kingdom" that the pillow or pattern is attributed to is a person from the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). The SCA recreates the European Middle Ages from about 600 AD to about 1600 AD. "Atlantia" is basically the area from Maryland to South Carolina in the United States, and the lady's title "Baroness" is one she would have earned by doing a lot of things for the organization in that Kingdom.
