Abe G. gave me some ridiculous Trudeau socks earlier this year. So for the holidays, I decided to turn these socks into cool wrist bands and re-gift them back to him with a new, more useful purpose. So now he can wipe his dainty brow with our nation's leader. Enjoy the sweat-mopping power of Trudeau!

I made this for Trent B. as a holiday gift. Took small scraps of different color palettes and sewed them together into panels, eventually cutting them down into sections to make strips of varying widths. I also assembled a selection of yellow fabrics that went from lighter to darker. I then worked on assembling the strips in opposite directions (light on dark, etc...). A fussy bit was attaching the transition pieces on the side of the mosaic strips so that the different yellow fabrics transitioned in the middle of the mosaic strips. But in the end i like the effect.
After it was all pieced, I used some upcycled batik on the back and then quilted it simply with wavy lines, and then bound the whole piece in the lightest yellow fabric to highlight the contrast. Added some tabs at the top to hang it, and bob's your uncle! Hope it provides some inspiration and visual distraction! A bit of an experiment: a wall-hanging-come-runner-mat for Natalie F. as part of a gift exchange. I am experimenting with the concept of cool fabrics poking through a solid-ish background (see next post) and this was a first attempt at the design. I really like how it came out, and hope she does too!
I finished this and gave it to dear Dallas A. for her 40th birthday. Colors according to her kitchen, I am hoping it fits in! Simple design, quilting along the triangles to give it a bit of joosh. Backed with recycled batik and bound with a coordinating fabric. I like how it turned out, and hope she does too!
