About Vicki
Vicki Malley has been a keen crafter from childhood. She achieved City and Guilds qualifications in textiles and clothing manufacturing after leaving school. Since then, over the years, Vicki has experimented with many forms of craft. These range from knitting and crochet, to needlepoint, cross stitching and embroidery, to applique and patchwork. Quilling and quilting are also crafts which she has produced. From college Vicki went on to work as a pattern cutter for a number of years, then moving into home furnishings, loose cover making and light upholstery. More recently Vicki has been experimenting with felting, this combines her love of sheep and the natural fibre of wool being her favourite textile. She works at her studio "Wool Craft" at Farfield Mill near Sedbergh in Cumbria and here she has produced her own unique range of wool crafts from small objects such as brooches to larger ones such as cushions.
