MODISH QUILTER : : RETRO ISSUE : : FABRIC DESIGNER FEATURE

I had the pleasure of sitting down for an interview with Kiley of Modish Quilter to chat about my journey as a fabric designer.

For me, the path to becoming a fabric designer has been a scenic route and I feel like I’ve accidently, on purpose, landed here, doing this thing I absolutely love. Even if there’ve been a few speed bumps and growing pains along the way. During our conversation, I shared insights into my creative process, from the initial idea to the inspirational playlist, messy ink drawings, to my favorite part, selecting colors in Adobe Illustrator and, oh! So many repeat patterns, which I adore to play with!

As I look back on my journey so far, I know I’m a lucky duck for the overwhelming love and support my retro-modern sunshiny prints and patterns have received. It's truly heartwarming to see how my designs have resonated with collaborators, people, makers & neighborhoods. I enjoy, oh SO much, being able to bring bursts of joy and color into the world, one print and pattern at a time!
