March is Women’s History Month and we’re celebrating the historic contributions of women from around the world and their impact on our cultures and societies.
Our very own Cindy Cloward was a Labor and Delivery Nurse for well over a decade before joining her husband Bret to manage what we know now as Riley Blake Designs. She noticed the fabric industry was lacking colorful and fresh fabrics that would appeal to a broader audience. Along with local designers, RBD debuted their first fabric line at the Spring 2009 Quilt Market. Just Dreamy was an overnight hit!
Cindy’s contributions continue to make a positive impact on the fabric industry. Her eye for beautiful design and bright optimistic colors, and her opportunity to collaborate with so many talented RBD artists has been the perfect mix of hobby, passion and business.
There are many ways you can celebrate Women’s History Month. Some of our favorite ways include supporting a women-owned business, writing a thank you note to a woman who inspires you, or volunteering for a women’s nonprofit. How will you celebrate?
