Minki Kim
Lecture - How Sewing Saved My Life

We’re delighted to welcome the talented Minki Kim to our guild! Known for her whimsical designs and charming sewing illustrations, Minki has inspired quilters and makers around the world with her creative approach to fabric art.

Minki Kim is a fabric and pattern designer celebrated for her distinctive, storybook style. A formally trained sculptor and self-taught sewist, she discovered that designing fabrics and creating art with fabric and thread were natural steps in her artistic journey. During her program, “How Sewing Changed My Life,” Minki will share photos and projects that trace her creative evolution.

Minki began sewing as a creative outlet when her children were small, hoping to capture the beauty of everyday moments. What started as simple hand embroidery grew into her signature technique of “drawing with thread” on her sewing machine—transforming ordinary scenes into delightful keepsakes.

The author of Sew Illustrated, Diary in Stitches, Zakka from the Heart, and Zakka Wool Appliqué (all from C&T Publishing), Minki has also designed several fabric collections for Riley Blake Designs. She creates popular patterns for purses and pouches, beloved by sewists for their clever construction and charming details.

The Flying Geese Quilt Guild brings together a vibrant community of quilters through monthly meetings and a variety of activities. These gatherings feature quilt-related programs presented by talented members, locally recognized fiber artists, and nationally and internationally acclaimed speakers; including quilters, designers, and textile artists.
Every month, our guild members delight us with a spectacular Show and Tell, offering a glimpse into the creativity within our community and a preview of the stunning quilts featured in our biennial quilt show. Before the meeting and during breaks, members can socialize, sign up for workshops, and enter opportunity drawings for small wall hangings and door prizes.
Between meetings, the guild offers a variety of activities, including hands-on workshops, philanthropy sewing days, and small friendship quilt group gatherings.
Founded in 1985 by 30 dedicated quilters, the quilt guild has grown to approximately 200 members in 40 years. Our mission is to promote and educate members and the public in creative quilting and fiber arts, preserve the heritage of quilt making, and encourage quilt-related activities.
Guild membership offers access to workshops led by expert speakers, friendship groups, philanthropy sewing days, and community education projects. Members also enjoy special events such as our biennial quilt show, quilt auction, and retreats.
