Vickie Owens presents “Laura Heine Collages”
Vicki says, "I’ve been in love with vintage textiles for as long as I can remember. Both of my grandmothers were quilters, embroiderers, lacemakers, knitters, etc. Through out the years, I explored and work, but didn’t have time for quilting until my first grandchild announced her arrival, nearly 20 years ago! Once I began that baby quilt I couldn’t stop!
The variety of quilt design and techniques seemed endless. I favor the traditional quilts of my grandmothers, but I’ve also made more than a few modern quilts. I am a member of multiple quilt guilds and I’ve shown quilts in shows from San Antonio to Austin to Dallas and even Houston. In 2023, three of my Laura Heine collage quilts were juried into a special exhibit at the Texas State Quilt Museum. Quilting truly is an art form and I'm honored to represent the legacy of my grandmothers and the future of textile art."
