In the studio with Victoria Findlay Wolfe
Growing up on a farm in Minnesota, everyone in Victoria’s family sewed: her mother was a seamstress, her father had an upholstery business and her grandmother, Elda Wolfe, was a quilter.
“My three-dimensional skills were pretty good from a young age. No one used patterns, so I would watch my parents and learn to make things as I went along,” she recalls. Victoria says she was always a maker: “I knew I’d be an artist when I grew up. I was always making all kinds of crazy things, and fabric was one thing that was always accessible to me.”
Victoria started sewing when she was around four years old, making patchwork
