We had a nice afternoon at The Studio yesterday working with this group of Girl Scouts as we helped them with a mixed media and drawing project so they could achieve their Drawing Badge. Nice work by everyone with these paper, paint and bead paintings.

I am so proud of these quilters!!!! Remember that we started a Quilt as You Go Sampler Quilt class last fall where we learned to make a different quilt block or two each month and then learned how to put it all together with the Quilt as You Go method? Well here are some of the quilters who completed their quilts recently. Aren’t they all beautiful???!!!!! I love how we made the same 12 quilt blocks and how everyone’s quilt turned out differently showing off their personalities. And some of these ladies, most in fact, were new to quilting. Isn’t that amazing???!!!! I think so. The good news is we have another class starting October 16th and it’s not too late for you to get in on it and make one of these beauties. Click here for more info or contact Kelly at kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com to join. Great work quilters….I am so, so proud of what you accomplished!

Not that kind of Strip Poker!!! LOL! Remember a few weeks ago we had our Stitch & Bitch V Retreat? One of the games we played with the group was “Strip Poker” where we played a game using Jelly Roll Strips. I WON 100 jelly roll strips in all colors and prints. So part of the game was to “makes something” and share it. So here it is. I used them along with these Moda pre-printed Farm Animal blocks to make this Quilt as You Go quilt. I love how it turned out. If you look closely you can see that I sewed the strips together and then cut them to use as half square triangles. I love star quilts!

Look at what a fantastic job this group of young artists did yesterday painting the Retro Flower image. I was explaining what retro meant and one of the little artist told me they look like “Future” flowers! I love that! Great job all around. Next month our theme for Kid’s Class is animals. Check it out here for info on what we are painting and to register. Space is limited.
