I had so much fun I decided to attend the 2019 Upholstery Meetup too.” \nDonna Cash\, Owner\, Designs By Donna \n“The 2018 meet-up was a great experience. Where else would I have had the opportunity to see chair frames manufactured from start to finish? Or have personalized service at an industrial sewing machine store where I saw machines that I did not even know existed? All of the fabric stores were fantastic – and shopping is so much better when you are doing it with 20 new friends!” \nKip Ford\, Lulu Kate Designs\n“When I signed up for the first Upholstery Meetup\, I had no idea what a lasting impact just 3 days would have! Kim went above and beyond to make sure the trip was packed with relevant tours\, visits and networking opportunities that had a real & practical benefit to those attending. Aside from the structured activities\, meal times provided a relaxed atmosphere to really get to know the other individuals.” \nDonna Scott Johnson\, Lulu Kate DesignsPHOTOS FROM PAST MEETUPS\nLearning\, exploring\, making new friends…\nLET’S EXPLORE TOGETHER. CLAIM YOUR SPOT NOW!\nRegister
