Ready for Fall: Changing Seasons by Ro Gregg

Just in time for the first day of fall, here's Ro Gregg's Changing Seasons collection, an autumn beauty! Enjoy the fabrics and then read about Ro's inspiration for these gorgeous prints below.


Q. Tell us about your Changing Seasons collection.
Ro: I am such a nature lover and fall is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. You have to enjoy it because you know what’s coming next. I think it’s sort of like the last hurrah—beautiful trees and leaves, really showcasing autumn’s beauty.

Q. Tell us about the panel.
Ro: I wanted to showcase an autumn landscape and added in chrysanthemums, the classic fall flower. The panel is almost like looking out the window, or out a portico. The trees and sky are framed with a Marblehead print and accented with metallic to give it a really radiant glistening effect. I love the sunlight on the trees, and how it changes the colors.



Q. Can you show us some of your favorite coordinates?
Ro: There’s the sunset print—spectacular radiant colors with gold glitter.



The focal fabrics have leaves and chrysanthemums, along with accents of fall stamps. The layering look is a current trend. The prints also highlight many different types of leaves—oak, maple, gingko, to name a few. 




And the check; I think the check pulls this line together. It’s also showcased in the panel.


Q. What’s special about this line?
Ro: The focal prints focus on fall landscape, but the coordinates can be used all year round. It’s timeless.

Feels like fall!

Have the leaves in your neck of the woods started changing into those rich autumn hues? Even if they haven't (or don't!), there are enough pumpkins and gourds, as well as fall decor in stores, to get you in that fall mood. (And don't forget those tasty fall drinks...and the classic favorite, apple cider!)

We thought we'd help you get in a fall quilting spirit by sharing some of our favorite autumn-inspired designs. You can find more information on each project in the link below it.
