Charges in cross are in their default orientations (like the  
escallops in the attached period emblazon, from <http:// 
daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/bsb00001430/image_261>) unless some  
other is specified.

I'd blazon what's shown in your image, "in cross four trefoils slips  
to center".

I feel it's also important that you know rotating charges in cross in  
that fashion is not something that was done in real medieval and  
Renaissance heraldry.  There's a little discussion of that in one of  
my articles, at <http://coblaith.net/Heraldry/Crosses/ 
ofcharges.html#endtoend>.

By the way, if you're not terribly artistic, you can always borrow  
from others.  (That's what I do.)  I'm sure neither Anton Tirol  
<http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/bsb00001647/image_63> nor  
Nicholaus Bertschi <http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/bsb00001364/ 
image_75> would mind if you traced his trefoils, for example.
