Vickie's love of fibers, wool and folk art is apparent in each of the 70+ patterns she has designed for her company Annie's Keepsakes, which celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2010!

Vickie's unique projects have appeared in magazines across the nation and abroad, and she brings her easy-going style and award-winning expertise to each of her lectures, classes and workshops.

For class descriptions and photos, please visit the Free Projects page of this web-site or email Vickie.

Vickie began sewing and creating at the age of 5 when her mother began teaching her how to make doll clothes.  She started her company "Annie's Keepsakes", (named after her mother and daughter) in 1990, as a way to continue her love of designing and staying home with her children.  Annie's Keepsakes has been growing steadily and is now distributed throughout the United States and abroad.
