About Walker Quilt Co. and Andrea Walker

Hi! 

I'm Andrea Walker of Walker Quilt Co.  My husband Josh & I live in the beautiful mountains of Franklin, North Carolina with our sweet boy, Caleb.  I first discovered longarm quilting in 2014 at my local quilt shop.  I had never seen anything like that huge machine before and couldn't wait to see it in action!  I was completely mesmerized as I watched the shop owner, Maxine Ramey, work on her quilt.  A few months later, I completed my very first quilt and wanted to quilt it myself and try out that beast of a machine!  I was so nervous of course, but determined to go for it anyway.  I did, and fell in love!  I have been addicted ever since, purchasing my own Handi Quilter Fusion with ProStitcher a year later.  I jumped right in & starting quilting professionally right away.   

In 2017, we had the opportunity to expand our business and open a studio space next door to A Stitch In Time quilt shop.  We were able to add 3 other Handi Quilter moveable longarm machines and a Sweet 16 sit-down model.  This expansion gave us the ability to offer hands-on classes, and a faster turn-around time on our quilting service.  

Then, in 2019 we expanded again and became an authorized Handi Quilter retailer!  We now have every model of HQ longarm + ProStitchers available in our studio for demo and classes, including the new Amara ST on the Lift table.  In addition, we also have a fully stocked retail space with Handi Quilter accessories, Ruby Star Society fabrics and lots more! 

Stop by and say hello next time you’re in town - drop off a quilt or take a class and learn something new!  We love all things quilting and spending time with our quilting friends!
