Ro has been busy...and not just channeling her creativity to develop many new fabric lines. (watch for sneak peeks in coming posts!) Where is she finding inspiration? How about seeing flamingos on the beach? Keep reading...
What you're working
on right now: A new collection called Block Party. It's a
floral with an organic look—really influenced by nature. I'm featuring roses,
irises, sunflower, tulips set on a neutral background.
Most recent
magazine and/or book you've read:
Latest magazine was Home Accents
Today—a trend magazine for home dec. Latest book: The Girl with the Dragon
Tattoo. I did like it. Once you got into it, it took off like crazy.
Most recent place
you found design inspiration: We
were on Flamingo Beach in Aruba over New Year's. It's a regular public beach,
and there are flamingos roaming around there. It's beautiful. As a bird lover,
it was really incredible.

Current favorite
color and/or color combination: Egg
robin blue, mocha and sand.
Recent great meal
you've had: Also in Aruba—at
Pinchos Grill & Bar. It's on a
wharf, really a beautiful, romantic place with a panoramic view of the
shoreline. Coincidentally, it was on the Bachelor (or Bachelorette?). I had
Incredible coconut shrimp and grouper almondine.

What you do to get
through winter: I belong to a
spa and I swim 3 or 4 times per week.
Coffee or tea?: Coffee.
Your current
favorite fabric line: I love the
Marblehead A Star Is Born. I feel that it gives you the ability to design and
to create artisan quilts. It has a mod contemporary flair to it, and the colors
are bright. My favorite colorway is the purple, blue, lime and green.
Note: Marija Vujcic of Mara Quilt Designs used these fabrics in a pattern called "Stars of the Season," which you can find for purchase as a downloadable pattern here.
An ideal Friday
night: Friday nights we always
go out to dinner with friends. Nothing formal, just simple, to kick off the
weekend.
Most excited about
right now: Redesigning my shore
house. (It was destroyed during the hurricane.) It is a challenge to design it,
trying to recreate what we had before.
Loved reading about what's Ro been up to - she is one busy, creative lady! :)
