about our ceo
Virginia Tompkins
I started Home Economics to bring others the things that make me happy and make my home…home. It’s the feeling I want my two young children to have.
I have always quilted. I learned it from my grandmother and have many happy memories of quilting with her. We made quilts for special occasions, usually weddings and births of children by our closest friends. But now I get to bring quilts and memories to others.
We all know everyone enjoys a good meal and that food brings people together. That’s another passion. I have a master’s degree in Gastronomy and look forward to consulting with you about making any meal special. It’s about more than recipes. It’s about making memories.
My sister is the textile artist in the family. With an MFA she brings a keen design eye to every tapestry HOME ECONOMICS offers. Whether purchasing a creation already made, or designing one for you personally, HOME ECONOMICS can bring a scene alive through textiles.
We look forward to speaking with you.
