Remy Delemontagne da Gascogne and I made the cloak together. He made the cloak itself, and I did the embroidered decoration. The cloak is of a very fine dark blue wool, lined with red silk. I did the embroidery on linen, and then appliqued it to the wool, covering the join with a red satin cord that matched the lining.
Quintin was the twelfth MoD made in the East Kingdom, so many of the traditions were still being developed. Since there wasn't a specific way the badge of the order was to be displayed, I decided to do a large filled design, and embroider each of the blades as if they had been made using a different technique. The guards of the swords were fun to work with as well, as they have a lot of possibility for under and over crosses. It may be difficult to see in the photos, but the grip and pommel on each sword is done with metallic thread, while the quillon and guard is in different colors of grey.
These pictures were taken by Quintin.
