Vicki learned to quilt from her grandmother over 50 years ago in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. In 1998, she began teaching quilting classes for Community Education and grew a small quilting community in Eastern Kentucky. We opened Calico Patch in 2003 and grew to include over 4000 bolts of high quality designer fabrics, along with a wide assortment of patterns, quilt kits, sewing notions, and quilting supplies. Vicki continued to teach sewing, quilting and embroidery as well as designing quilts for classes, shop hops and retreats. In 2015 Vicki's original designs gained national attention and she decided to create Calico Patch Designs. She has since lectured and taught at quilt shows and guilds across the country.
After several years teaching quilting and owning/operating the quilt shop, Vicki continues her passion for quilting by designing patterns. Her quilting designs are reaching all over the world through national distributorship and on-line sales.
Her patterns can be found in many quilt shops and Vicki and Tom travel to vend at many quilting shows across the country. See the list of upcoming shows on this website. We hope to see you!
