Q: What or who would you dedicate this collection to? Do you have an inspiration board?
A:Petal Pusher was inspired by a gorgeous photo of vibrant and colorful painted wildflowers on a white background, and of course STELLA loves fresh-cut flowers! It is dedicated to all the smart and creative people we surround ourselves with every day to lift ourselves higher in every way. I love how the clean colors and bold, modern design of Petal Pusher are floral without being fussy.

Q: What is your favorite project using this collection?
A:Eloise! We had our Eloise elephant pattern made up in Petal Pusher and it’s so adorable, I feel the need to pet the fabric every time I walk by it!
Q: If time travel became possible, what year would you want to be in?
A:I’d love to go back to the early 1980’s when I still believed that Santa Claus was real and my biggest problem was that my friends might not be able to come out and play that day.
Q:If you had to change your first name what would you change it to?
A:Superwoman, because some days I feel like I should have super powers to achieve everything on my to-do list!
Q:What was your favorite childhood TV show?
A:He-Man & She-Ra, Saved by the Bell (still is!) and I Love Lucy.
Q:Who is the most famous person you have ever met?
A:Jerry Seinfeld sat behind us at a New York METS game last year. I could not tell you a thing that happened during that game, I spent the entire time turned around in my seat! Oh, also Jon Bon Jovi high-fived me at a concert once… does that count?
Q:What is your favorite App to play on your phone?
A:Draw Something – I take my illustrations very seriously and on the iPad you can really do some good work!
Q:If you could marry a technology, what would it be?
A:My iPad & my DSLR (digital super camera). I can’t figure out how I lived before either of them.

It's always fun to meet the designer….in this case, it's doubly fun, cos I am loving on her fabric line!
Love that elephant.
Wonderful collection! It's one of my favorites.
The chopsticks version is already on my to do list. Now I have to add the cute Eloise for two grandchildren that are to be born very soon.
That elephant is an elephant to love. I am not an animal lover of stuffed animals but this has panache. Thanks for the design & to meeting the designer.
