Nicole Robbins - Owner and Creative Director

I LOVE color. And not just bold and saturated colors. I find beauty in the lightest and palest of colors. Standing in a fabric shop brings joy to me like a kid in a five-story candy store. The texture and movement of fabric and trims on my fingers gives me the giggles. If It Barks designs come from a peaceful place within that is inspired by nature - sea scapes, mountain views, desert hills - and by the details of nature - peacock feathers, ripples in the water and the color variations of a pecan shell. The design process begins here.

Amy Caliri - Seamstress Extraordinaire

I have to give credit to my mother for the creative drive and love of crafts that I have. She taught me to sew and more importantly taught me the value of doing it right the first time to produce a high quality product. I have a passion for crafts and love to design and create. My goal is that your barker will hold his head high and be proud to strut his If It Barks style.

Melissa Herboth of blustitch - Contributing Designer

I used to say to my mother “I want to do something creative.” Those were the days of unfinished craft projects when I ended up making more of a mess rather than actually completing a project… still, my desire to do something creative has never left my soul. I do get my fill of creativity daily as a professional graphic designer, but my more whimsical creative outlet has become quilting. I have always had a love for color, pattern and texture, but I think it’s the hands on and unique finished product that keeps me sewing and always creating new projects.
