Getting to know fabric designer Sara...10 questions, 10 answers!
Most recent place
you've found design inspiration:
Goodwill and Salvation Army. I love to refashion old denim and army
jackets into fabulous, edgy statement pieces. The Disney Channel is
showing a 90 second show where I demonstrate upcycling denim. Making
this small program was lots of fun! :)
Latest book you've
read: "I'll Walk
Alone" by Mary Higgins Clark. I love to read but I don't like reading text
books! College requires so much reading. When I can read for pleasure it
is a well-enjoyed treat.
What you're working
on now: I am currently working
on an art quilt that will express my concern regarding the wave of
violence against women in other countries.
Favorite color: Red. I love to use reds with black or
whites. I like to wear "contrasty" bold colors in my wardrobe to
stand out and look unique amongst the students at UC Berkeley.
A recent great
meal: The Texas Roadhouse. I am
not a big red meat eater but I LOVE BBQ ribs from this restaurant. My
parents will sometimes bring me a rack of ribs to my dorm room and by the
time all of my friends get a taste, I only have a small portion left to
eat myself. I have yet to convince my folks to bring me two slabs. I love
salads, and if it weren't for Texas Roadhouse , I honestly would be a
vegetarian.
How you get through
winter: Sewing! Sewing!! Since I
am now a college student, I don't have as much free time anymore. I
enjoyed a long winter break and made Christmas gifts, including a
full-sized quilt for my 84-year-old grandma Emma in Alabama (complete with
pillow shams). I used Folk Heart fabric and left the selvege edges visible
because she wanted it that way. Grandma is proud of my
fabrics and shows my work to all of her friends. :)
Coffee or tea? Neither. I like the way coffee smells but I
don't drink it, or tea. I LOVE hot chocolate with marshmallows or whipped
cream. Whenever I can, I make it at my dorm room and I have a small fridge
that keeps a can of real whipped cream fresh for me.
Favorite Friday
night activity: I love to go to
slam poetry readings in cafes and small restaurants. I am too self-conscious to
present poems, but I love to watch my friends.
What you are
excited about right now: MY
BIRTHDAY! I will be 18 yrs old on February 19th! I hope my folks
will spring for a nice party with lots of good food for me and my buddies!
(Dad and mom if you're reading this please consider this :)
Which fabric line
is your favorite? I love Folk
Heart but Biology 101 is special too. I designed an art quilt and bedding with
Biology 101. The art quilt I named "The Mermaid A Nubian Treasure."
It was part of a mermaid themed art quilt show in North Carolina last fall and
is now hanging in my parents' bedroom!
