These four red, white and blue rugs that beautifully compliment each other, were made for a sailboat. The teak deck of a sailboat is called "the sole"...hence the name "Sole Mates" for the four rugs. It was a problem fitting the rows of braid to the exact and very limited dimensions of available space on the sole. I also had to be extra careful in color fast testing the materials since they would almost certainly be exposed to water. The galley "Solemate" was made with taupe in lieu of white so staining would be less of a problem. They are truly not only works of art but the products of much planning, measuring and calculation. It was a fun project for me!
