It's funny but by the time Victoria actually learnt how to make a quilt, she had already made 5 of them. One for herself (in tartans), one for Albert (in burgundy, green and blue), plus 3 for girls in Egypt (from the orphanage and for their house-helper).
So when an opportunity came up to do some Textiles Studies, she jumped at the chance. Little did she know what passions were about to be ignited by doing the course! Nor how this passion was to turn their home upside down with sewing stuff everywhere!
One of her current aims is to make a quilt or quillo for each of her nieces and nephews, as well as for some of their friends.
The Textiles Course was for 3 years and sadly, as she often says, it came to an end a couple of years ago. But not all was lost - because overlapping with the Course was the chance to join a local Quilt Club, which takes the passion, interests and learnings in new directions - as well as meeting a whole lot of new girls who share the passion of quilting.
