Hello, hello! Here I am at my sister-in-laws house borrowing her WI-FI to bring you, my lovely readers and fellow Quilter's of Awesome, a brand new interview with one of my favorite quilty people, Vickey Hughes. Vickey is one of those kind souls who have offered up a prize for our Mini Quilt Swap. ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR VICKEY! YAAAAAAAY!
Know what's even better? She has personally selected a Bonnie & Camille"Metro" layer cake to give away to the "BEST NOVICE", how cool is that? Especially since 85% of you mentioned that Bonnie & Camille were amongst your favorite fabric designers. Let's discover a little more about this generous soul and fellow QoA, shall we?

Happy Swapping!

Thank you again, Vickey!When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now that you're grown up? I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up... And I am! I am a (very art time) Registered Nurse in a busy ICU.
Someone gave you a $10,000 gift card, what store is it for and what do you buy? To the Gammill Company! I would love to get a long arm some day soon!!
What was your first sewing project? I first made a quilt in high school for my newborn niece.... BUT... It fell apart in the wash. I then put my sewing machine away for several years lol
Who taught you how to sew? When I started sewing again a few years ago I taught myself with the help of some great teaching blogs.
Besides sewing, what are your favorite hobbies? I love to go trail riding with our horses.
Sweet or savory? Sweet!! I LOVE chocolate!
What is your favorite tool in your sewing basket? My rotary cutter is my favorite item ... I don't know how I could sew without it!
How many ufo's are in your closet? Ummm..... I hate to admit it but seven.
What's on your sewing bucket list? I would really like to make a kaleidoscope quilt for my king size bed but I don't think I'm not ready for that kind of commitment.
What do you pack in your travel sewing bag? Believe it or not I don't have one! When we go on trips its family time... no time for sewing.
Do you have an advice for our beginners and/or future sewists? Dive in! Don't be afraid to try new things. There are so many great blogs out there with great instruction!
I had planned on expanding my online shop this summer but instead we moved to two different states in less than five months!! I still plan on expanding but it may have to wait a bit so please be patient and check back often! In the meantime, I would like to offer a coupon code to be used at checkout. Please use code MiniQuilt for 15 percent off your next order. Thanks! I have loved watching the progress of everyone's mini's!!
Happy Swapping!
