About
the AuthorVikki entered the world of quilting in 1991 at the urging of her sister, Augustine Ellis. A non-sewer at the time, Vikki attended a beginner's class and quickly fell in love with the art of quilting. Now a full-time professional quilt artist, designer, international teacher, lecturer and author, Vikki and her quilts have been featured in many books, national publications and exhibitions. She has won numerous awards in national and international competitions and exhibitions.
A self-taught artist with experience in painting (watercolor and oils) and sculpture, Vikki enjoys a passion for color and flowing designs. She developed a simple layering technique that is a blend of piecing and appliqué and is the subject of her first book in 2001, Quilting Curves (Quilt Digest Press). Also, Vikki has written "how-to" articles published in Quilter's Newsletter and AQS magazines.
Vikki is the founder (1999) and co-chairwoman of the national biennial Sacred Threads Quilt Exhibitions, a two-week display of original artwork that explores themes of spirituality, joy, inspiration, healing and grief. The show is held in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.
Deeply influenced by her husband's bout with cancer and his recovery in 1993, most of Vikki's focus is to inspire, nurture and develop the artistry and self-confidence within each quilter.
Vikki lives in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, with her husband of 38 years, Denny. They have two children, Denise and Dan. Vikki and her husband love to travel and dance for relaxation.
