Meet Terry Runyan – Fabric Designer for Benartex

Terry Runyan is a whimsical force of creativity! A visual artist, illustrator, and self-proclaimed “creative encourager,” Terry brings joy, charm, and playfulness to every collection she designs for Benartex. Her imaginative style is instantly recognizable—filled with quirky characters, curious cats, and bold, expressive color.

Terry believes creativity is how we connect with the world—and she lives that truth daily, inspiring others to embrace their inner artist. She calls Kansas City home, where she shares her studio life with her two adorable kitties, Rylee and Tucker, and her manfriend Larry (yes, manfriend—how fun is that?).

Whether you’re sewing, quilting, or simply swooning over her art, Terry’s designs are sure to spark smiles and creative magic.
