About this Product
This trivet was made from fabric rope using lots of different scraps. While the lengths varied, the width was always the same. The scraps were twisted and woven creating the multi-colored effect. Then sewn together on a sewing machine. Not only can it be used for hot dishes, but it can be used under vases or plants and their trays.
Tower Creations by Madeline
Meet the Maker
I’ve always loved creating, with a philosophy of renew, redo, and repurpose. My work includes scarves with a unique edging technique, fabric baskets, soft fabric pins, and repurposed treasures like wooden spool scissor holders and chipped china jewelry trays.
Driven by both sustainability and imagination, I transform scraps and vintage finds into functional art while also designing new, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each creation is made with care, carrying its own quiet story of transformation.
Inspired by the meaning of my name, Madeline, I see my work as a tower—grounded in strength, elevated by creativity, and open to light. I’m deeply grateful for my supportive husband, our blended family of four children, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren—my greatest motivators. And of course, Ollie, our four-legged house boss, who graciously allows us to share her home.
How it’s Made
Fabric rope can be challenging to make when there are so many different colors and lengths of scraps that can be combined. Once a color scheme has been decided, then it's a matter of getting all of the lengths to the same width. Once that happens, then it's twisting and weaving to achieve the desired result. When that has taken place, then off to the sewing machine to put it together.
