Join us on November 13, 2025 for our guest speaker Crystal Manning!

Crystal is a Kansas City fabric and quilt artist who will share a trunk show of her latest and favorite quilts.

After spending a decade as a graphic designer, Crystal turned her artistic talents toward surface and textile pattern design. In 2015, she bought her first sewing machine and began teaching herself to sew, using her custom-printed Spoonflower fabrics. Though she endured the occasional pinprick and became well-acquainted with her seam ripper, her passion for sewing and fabric design flourished.

Since 2017, Crystal has been designing fabric for Moda Fabrics, inspiring sewists to create with her stylish collections. She also designs quilt patterns to complement her fabric lines.
