Have Featherweight Will Travel

May 3, 2024 by kellywalkerstudios

This is what the little Singer Featherweight Sewing machines were made for…travel!  They were advertised as portable, and while in today’s terms, eleven pounds may seem heavy, they really are easy to take along.  They are perfect for piecing quilt blocks.  I love them!  This one is a fairly rare 1961 Tan Featherweight… named Barbara Ann for my mom.  She’s traveled with me to the last two retreats.  I try to rotate the Featherweights I have so they all get used and I can keep them maintained.  I have 6 now…Oops, how did that happen???!!!  Did I mention that I love these little machines?

EQ8 Workshop in Ohio

May 2, 2024 by kellywalkerstudios

After the Wednesday morning Art Class yesterday I drove 7 hours to Perrysburg OH for an EQ8 Workshop.   This is the quilt design software that I have been using for about a year and a half and I was finally able to get to a class.  I was hoping that after using it that long I wouldn’t be disappointed and I was not!  I already learned so much today that will help me and I can’t wait for the next two days of class.  Plus I am meeting so many other quilters from all over the United States and sharing stories and ideas. This is such a great treat for me!

We had a terrific Stitch & Bitch retreat this past weekend. It was our 8th one out at Shenandoah River State Park. So much fun playing games, winning prizes, sewing projects, sharing ideas, enjoying demos, and so much more. We always have a great time together. Our space is limited for this retreat but if you are interested we can add your name to our waitlist so be sure to reach out if you are interested. We do this twice a year. You can see from the photos how much fun we have!

For Barks & Bags

April 22, 2024 by kellywalkerstudios

A few weeks ago I made this little banner that I donated to our local Humane Society for their Barks & Bags Fundraiser event.  I hope it auctioned off and raised some $$$ to help those babies at the shelter.

Sewing Camps Added to Summer Schedule

April 18, 2024 by kellywalkerstudios

The Studio has added two sessions of Summer Sewing Camp to our schedule. Sewing Camp 1 is June 13 & 14 and is for ages 8+. We will learn sewing machine basics and safety while making several projects….a reversible tote bag and a quilted banner with a summer theme. Sewing Camp 2 is July 25 & 26 and we will again learn about basic sewing machine skills while making a cool project. We will design our own stuffed animal. We’ll begin by drawing a design and work it into a pattern, sew it up and take it to the final design details. Will it be a turquoise cat or a green fox? Maybe it will be a red and yellow striped turtle…..who knows what we will come up with in this fun class. Don’t miss it. This will be a very unique project. And chances are we will have time to make a matching tote bag to carry it in. The cute little frog above is a sample of what we have in mind. Click here for more information and to register for all classes and camps at The Studio.
