Heraldic Device Banner - Device with Goblets

Here is another project that I forgot to post in July; a banner device for our local device banner. It is predominantly made of felt (because felt can stand up to the stresses of being rolled up and transported and doesn't crinkle up).

All the design elements are cut out individually and sew on, and then the trims can be applied. The goblets are surrounded with couched cords and commercially made trim is used for edging the goblets and the central area.

The completed device then gets a backing piece of felt sewn on to make it just a little thicker and more sturdy. Then it gets sewn to the banner which shows the registered heraldic devices of the local populace listed in chronological order of registration.
