Rag Tree Skirts

We did a lot of sewing at The Studio this weekend. First it was quilts….and then these fabulous Rag Tree Skirts. Aren’t they fabulous???!!!! We love how everyones turned out. Watch for another open class coming soon.

Congratulations to Wilma and Kelly! They completed their “Big Star” quilts by getting the binding on yesterday. They made these entire quilts in just one weekend at The Studio. We love quilting! Nice job ladies. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

I know people find it hard to believe but these 6 quilters made these amazing Big Star quilts in just 2 days. We started them yesterday evenng at 5pm. We sewed until 9 last night and then came back at 10 am and sewed until 6:30 tonight. I never get tired of seeing the different color/fabric combinations. Each one unique…each one beautiful! Nice work ladies. I knew you could do it!!!

It is quite an accomplishment to make a quilt. But to make a quilt in a day and a half….well that is something else altogether! And that is just what these 6 quilters did this weekend. We started on Friday evening and finished yesterday around 6:30. Aren’t they just amazing!!!! We used the Quilt As You Go method so these quilts are all done. Everyone did a great job with their color and fabric choices. I wish you could see them in person as they are so much prettier than in the photos. Nice work Debbie, Julie, Pat, Terry, Troy and Sherry. You ROCK!!!!!! We have another class coming up next weekend. Can’t wait to see what they do. And if you have ever wanted to learn to sew we have a class this Thursday on making a Table Runner that is beginner friendly….plus it only takes about an hour. Why not come learn to sew so there may be a quilt in your future. Click here to register for the Table Runner Class or to learn more.

Dianne is one of my weekly art students. When she has guests in town for a visit she treats them to a session of art. They got a jump start on the holiday this week as they painted these beautiful ornaments. Nice work ladies! If you want to paint with us or set up a private paint party contact kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com for more details.

Capon Favorites

My two favorite people to paint with at Capon Springs Art Retreat are Peggy and Chris…the mother-son duo who attend all the retreats and create some terrific art. I look forward to seeing them each time we go to Capon. Peggy does fun paintings each time and Chris always does something different. This time he created some gorgeous landscapes on multiple canvases. I love how their work turns out! Great work guys. Looking forward to seeing and painting with you both again soon.

We had so many painters at the retreat this week at Capon Springs….come who had never painted before and discovered that they love it! They all did terrific work. It’s so much fun painting at Capon….and we’re glad we got to paint with so many new friends.

We had a lot of fun and laughs last night at the Paint Party at Capon Springs. It is so great to see family and friends painting together. Beautifully done everyone!!!

The kids came back to paint again along with some others yesterday morning. They all did great work! Several others started paintings and will finish today. More photos to come. Plus we had a really nice Paint Party last night. Check that out in the next post.

We kicked off the Capon Springs Art Retreat with some enthusiastic young painters. They have to leave this morning so they wanted to get a painting in last night….and they did! Great job guys!!!! Hope we get to paint together again soon.
