QUILT 2019
Tressa Heckbert
The SESSA studio has been waist deep in fabric!! Over 60 bolts with min. 1m on each
.
At the beginning I felt overwhelmed with guilt that I had 'collected' all this through the years while still wanting to buy for the next steps into our sustainable strategy
.
Folding it all, organizing and seeing the plethora before me brought me to a place of happiness. (which was a big task believe me!) Each piece of fabric linked to a time, place, and accomplishment.
.
For 2019 we are making a collection with all of these textile memories, we are creating our Quilt
Sharman Dress
Quilt 2019
the whole is greater than the sum of its parts ~ Aristotle
.
All fabric sourced from my studio. From past collections, gifts, donations, to fabrics that I felt inspired to buy but never came to be something. These textiles contain all my memories in design for the past decade.
.
As hard as this collection is to translate and reflect unity, my excitement for this next chapter is massive!
