“I used an old hand quilted top to reupholster a chair”, Vickie says.

Mrs. Crumly loved to quilt and talk about quilting more than anyone I know. I think she would really love this way to get those great looking quilts out of the closet or chest and be able to enjoy them everyday.

“My style of Art is basically symbolism, Vickie says. I love to bring the feeling of a wonderful memory into a piece of art as well as a piece of furniture. We all have treasured quilts made by our grandmothers and most of them lie on a shelf in a closet never looked upon. So I take these treasures and use them to create visual art and functional art that can be enjoyed everyday.”
