Vicki Kerkvliet

Vicki Kerkvliet comes from a long line of quilters and began her own quilting journey in 2000 when she enrolled in a beginner quilting class. As an elementary school teacher she set the goal of piecing one quilt top a year in-between her teaching responsibilities.

Vicki’s dream of owning a longarm machine was realized in 2011 with thepurchase of an HQ Avanté® with Pro-Stitcher®. She currently quilts forcustomers and for herself on an HQ Amara® with Pro-Stitcher®. After 27 yearsin the elementary education profession, she joined the Handi Quilter education team and is thrilled to merge her love of teaching with her love of quilting in a new career path. Vicki now serves as the educator coordinator. She setsbeginning quilters at ease and encourages experienced quilters to enjoy their quilting journey while exploring new options.

Vicki is a member of the Starlight Quilters Guild in Kansas City. She has two adult sons and enjoys traveling with her husband to explore national parks.
