A Call for Red, White and Blue

March 30, 2023 by kellywalkerstudios

One of the best things about social media is connecting to people with the same interests. I follow a couple of quilting groups on Facebook and yesterday there was a quilter who was asked to make a quilt for the “Quilts of Valor Foundation” on short notice and she put out a request for help. She was asking for help making red, white and blue quilt blocks (12 1/2″). Often when I read requests they are for pretty big projects and I don’t feel like I have to time to take them on but two blocks I knew I could get done quickly. I made a Flying-x and a Variable Star….so off they go in the mail to her today. If you aren’t familiar with “Quilts of Valor” you can click on the link and read about them. They have a very cool mission.

1 Van, 5 Quilters, 9 Days, 10 States, 31 Quilt Shops and 2723 Miles!

March 27, 2023 by kellywalkerstudios

What more is there to say! We started with a 15 passenger van and 5 quilters. We spent 9 days traveling through 10 states covering 2723 miles and visited 31 quilt shops. It was a Fabric Acquisition Road Trip. Just look at my haul!!!! This will keep me busy for a little while. We spent about 7 months planning the journey . Our group was amazing and so much fun. Everyone was amiable and flexible so we added and left off some stops along the way. We fit in just as much as we possibly could. Some of you followed along with our adventure and watched as Wilma, Barbara, Katrina and Janet made our way through 10 states. And even our friend Denise who had to drop out at the last minute went with us in spirit. It was an epic trip! I can’t wait to see what everyone creates with their finds.

Paducah to Hurricane and Back Home

March 27, 2023 by kellywalkerstudios

We left Paducah, after we spent some time at Hancock Fabrics, and traveled to Hurricane WV for the night and then back on the road heading home. We stopped at the largest quilt shop in West Virginia, Bolts and Quarters and then stopped at a quaint diner for lunch-Cool Springs Park. And finally made it home with a load of fabric and stories.

This might be the most amazing group of quilts I have ever seen. They were so detailed and so large. You can get an idea if you click on the photos and take a good look. If you are in the Paducah Kentucky area you should hurry over to see these before they leave. Here is what the museum website says about her work.
