Robin signed on as a Moda designer in 2015 after winning the Moda and Spoonflower *Fabric8 design competition from a field of nearly 800 entries. At the time she was doing broadcast design graphics for television, including for E! Entertainment and other channels:  she still takes on assignments during the stations’ busy times of year and creates graphics for Kardashian specials, celebrity reveals, and other specials.

While exploring her desire to do more creative work, Robin started licensing her artwork to companies for greeting cards, calendars, craft books, dish-ware, holiday decor and more. She loved creating artwork that reflected beauty, color and joy in people’s homes. She still happily creates watercolor floral art for the Seller’s calendar “Seize the Day”, which she has been doing  for the past 11 years.

Robin’s approach to quilt making came from a more improv perspective from some classes she took with her mother- the first quilter in the family! Realizing she wanted to share her perspective on quilt design, Robin started creating quilt patterns. She is happy to design in a range that spans a “transitional” perspective- from traditional to modern. She loves designing quilts to show off the grand florals she likes to create as well as Thatched, her basics line for Moda Fabrics, adding more color and subtle texture.

Happy Quilting,  Margie Bushaw
