While at Portland Market, Rob Appell stopped by the booth of Stephanie Marie Designs and spoke with pattern and fabric designer, and part of the RJR Fabrics family, Stephanie Wright.
Stephanie explains, "In my fabric collections, I bring traditional and contemporary design together. I draw inspiration for my patterns and fabric designs from a blend of modern and vintage looks. Blending the old with the new, mixing textures, time periods, styles, and colors provides a dynamic canvas for innovative design and a great original look!"
Stephanie began her career in quilting working at the quilt shop of her mother, Audrey Wright (to watch a TQS interview with Audrey, click here.)
When she turned 19, along with her mother, she launched Starwood Pattern Company, a wholesale distribution company representing over 200 quilting and sewing product companies. Simultaneously, she pursued a college degree in marketing from Wichita State University, which she eventually earned in 2007. While working to build Starwood, Stephanie and Audrey created their own pattern line, which they aptly named, Legacy Patterns. After many years of designing patterns under the Legacy branding, Stephanie decided to branch out and Stephanie Marie Designs took root.
