Friends and Relations is a special event consultation company, of a certain, specific, special flavor. My Hammer Museum co-worker and friend, Corrina Peipon is one of the principles of the organization. Last summer we co-hosted a barbecue at a park up the street from our respective homes in Culver City. For the occasion I sewed my first pennant banner from fabric that has been sitting in my closet for years. Corrina liked it so much that she asked me to contribute to the Friends & Relations open studio in December, 2010.
I made the original pattern by cutting an elongated triangle out of a letter-size piece of printer paper. For this second round of banners, I made the entire pattern 3/4 the size of the original, which made the design much more sophisticated. I sold no banners, but they did end up making excellent Christmas presents for my sisters.
