May Meeting – Kimberly Bennefield
May 20 @ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Kimberly Bennefield will present our May 20th guild program, Quilted Garments and Sneakers. Lately, quilted fashion has been all the rage. From quilt coats to quilted shoes and quilted hats, the options are endless. Learn more about the steps in the process and a few considerations to keep in mind as you begin or extend your journey. Learn more about the tools and options for beginners or for those of you that are, or plan to become more experts. Kimberly Bennefield will walk us through the steps she typically takes and will show a few videos demonstrating the process. We will also have a chance to see some of the examples of shoes and garments she has made so far, in her journey.
