Hello there. My name is Virginia and I’m a miniature quilt collage artist. Primarily a quilter I also love to play with wood and have been collecting old papers, frames, buttons and other ephemera for sometime now. I decided to combine all these elements I’ve gathered and came up with miniature quilt collages.
The reason for the name “Galloping Pony Studio” is based on a quilter’s theory. The galloping horse theory says if you can’t see a mistake in a quilt from a galloping horse it really doesn’t matter. I delight in the character of age and imperfection and since I sew miniatures…Galloping Pony, studio is added because I like that word.
I vendor at quilt shows and teach a Miniature Quilt & Collage Class. You can see more miniature quilt art and my schedule on the “Upcoming” page on my website.

Virginia,
Even though I’ve quilted for over 30 years I was apprehensive about doing a miniature until I took your class. What FUN! And they ARE easy. I can hardly wait to try more. Your instructions for doing a collage were comprehensive and made the whole process even more enjoyable.
Thanks,
Barb

Virginia-
I can not begin to tell you how touched I was by your help in packing up last weekend at the Buggy Barn. You left your air coditioned car to work in the heat to help two strangers. Your kindness will not be forgotten. Kathy
