She was a broadcast designer with Warner Brothers before moving to the northeast United States. Her first foray into  working with fabric happened when she entered\u00a0one of the weekly Fabric 8 competitions on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Spoonflower (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spoonflower.com\/design-challenge\" target=\"_blank\">Spoonflower<\/a>.\u00a0Winners of\u00a0this competition were invited to work with Moda in developing their own fabric line. Robin won the competition in 2015. Her first line of  fabric was called <em>Poppy Mae, <\/em>a botanical scrapbook featuring (you guessed it) poppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robin  was familiar with quilts because her mom was a quilter. In the Fall of 2015, Robin went to her first\u00a0Quilt\u00a0Market in Houston. This gave her the  chance to talk with other fabric designers. After the show, she went  home and began making her own quilts. She showed those first quits at the 2016 Quilt Market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Moda6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7007\" width=\"499\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Moda6.jpg 640w, https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Moda6-300x255.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Road 2020, Robin\u00a0is  looking forward to attending her first Road to California, speaking to  fans, meeting new friends, and talking about her fabric lines, Abby  Rose, Definite Plus jelly rolls, her Thatched Basic line, and her latest patterns, Bird Talk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"453\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/moda7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/moda7.jpg 453w, https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/moda7-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does Robin hope to share with our Road attendees? &#8220;I\u00a0hope to pass on the joy of (my)\u00a0activities&#8230;by providing patterns, designs, color, ideas, and inspiration.
