He loves me, he loves me not. He still loves me! Jackie Robinson's newest collection, so aptly named He Still Loves Me, is filled with daisies.
You have a history with daisies, don't you?
My very first fabric line (8 years ago) was a daisy
collection called ''He Loves Me." I am always hearing from customers 'I
love the daisies.' I wanted to do a different type of daisy collection—on navy
and on black, with blue and yellow as support.
And the collection name?
Well, it's a fact that my husband still loves me, so it
seemed like a natural name for it.
Do you have a favorite print in the collection?
The allover daisy print. I sure do like the light blue one;
the navy version is just sparkly and it feels good.
You are pretty well-known for unique stripe motifs in
your fabric. Tell us about this one.
The stripe is the same format as the strips in my previous
collection, Tulip Festival. It's a size that works really well, but it also
means that if someone liked a pattern they used with Tulip Festival, they could
reuse that pattern with He Still Loves Me.
What's different about this collection?
The butterflies are a new addition. I was looking for some
kind of motion to create interest in the background. They are subtle, but
there.
This collection has a huge variety of coordinates.
Tell us about your strategy here.
You need lots of value in quilting. When you do value
changes, you want variety—they need to be texturized. The collection has four
value changes, all in prints that are pretty solid looking, but with some
texture.
Anything else?
I'm really tickled with the fabric line. I like it bunches.
I always like them, but some sing to you personally. Some of them are more
personal and this one is. I'm extremely fond of daisies and there will be some
of this fabric in my house soon!
