2. I design quilt fabric for Riley Blake
Designs, a major manufacturer in the
industry, whose fabric is sold worldwide
I’ve designed over a dozen collections
for them in 5 years
(That’s 200+ designs)
I also design and market quilt and
sewing patterns that are distributed
worldwide
I graduated from the University of Utah,
Summa Cum Laude, and have been a
creative entrepreneur for 20 years

3. Try to envision how you
might combine this
collection of fabric…
In this quilt
pattern
Its kind of tricky, right?

project will look like, isn’t it?
