O ur erstwhile Needleworkers Guild decided to create a pair of matched blue and white nebuly houpelandes for the Investiture of Edward and Milesent as the third Baron and Baroness of the Cleftlands. Nick-named the Cleft-a-londes, they came out beautifully! Lady Constanza headed the organizational efforts and designed the houpelandes (with assitance from Lyonnete who was in particular responsible for the collar on Milesent's Houpe). Many others assisted in the sewing including Milesent, Edward, Elisa, Maggie and more!
