Fiber Artist, Sara Malave
Category: Person Jack Hadley
Sara Malave is a lifelong seamstress who recently moved to Thomasville, Georgia. She ran an alteration and custom clothing business out of her home in Sarasota, Florida, since 1989. She began sewing at an early age and started wearing her own garments in high school. Having exhausted all sewing-related courses at local sewing shops, junior colleges, and through various types of collaboration projects, she found her way to The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. She graduated from there in 1989 with the highest honors. Choosing Jack Hadley as the subject for this quilt was inspired by a trip to the Jack Hadley Museum in Thomasville, Georgia. The more she read about Jack Hadley, the more she wanted to learn about him. The images of Jack Hadley were very compelling to her. His wedding picture, for example, was a fabulous shot, as was the photo of him driving a convertible with three beautiful girls in amazing dresses—what a great story to tell!
