Most of what I've seen I could do just as well myself with my art training, but I still think they would seem amateurish. Has anyone seen decent cloths with printed GT house positions in the $20 - $25 range they can recommend? I'm after an 8x4+4 cloth.

What I've done is just take a piece of plain fabric and draw the cards by tracing around one of them with a Sharpie (very carefully) for each position and then just writing in the Houses by name and number on each one. It's quick, inexpensive, and works very well. I've done two cloths that way, with one for the Gilded Reverie and one for the smaller decks. And I've also done one for the Kipper cards. I used a plain white sheet and just made the cloths in this way.
My real dream is to someday be able to have the spread cloth Ciro offers for the Gilded Reverie. I'm not getting any younger, but maybe someday before I leave the world, I'll be able to get that one.
