Yesterday we had two sessions of sewing camp where 12 kids learned to use a machine to sew a pillow. They also learned to hand sew as they completed the pillow after stuffing it. I am sorry I missed the photo of the first group’s pillow but we will catch them all today as they complete the Rag Quilt that they started after the pillow project yesterday. It’s so good to see that many young people want to learn to create things!

I spent almost the entire day yesterday cutting rag quilts for Sewing Camp today and tomorrow for kids at The Studio. Why did it take so long? Because I cut 16 rag quilts and pillow tops……as we have 12 students and they needed a selection from which to choose. Here’s my question: How many people do you know that have enough fabric on hand at their home to be able to cut 16 quilts and pillows? That is about 120 yards of fabric! That was a LOT of cutting. Whew!!!

Barbara and Jackie’s Hay Bale Landscapes turned out great. I’m sorry I missed getting photos of the other painters. They all look super! And I like that everyone got to choose the size canvas they wanted. We will have to do more of that. Good work ladies!

Yesterday we wrapped up the Movie Themed Art Camp with a Beauty and the Beast painting and a bonus painting of Popcorn. These young painters did a terrific job painting this week. Each painting got progressively more difficult as the week went on…..but it didn’t slow them down a bit. They did GREAT! Another year of Art Camp is behind us and our regular weekly Kid’s Art Class will begin on Wednesday, September 1st at 4:15. Contact kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com if you have a young artist that would like to join our class.
