New beginnings: ABQ Sewing Studio becomes The Wobbly Bobbin
Changes are happening at ABQ Sewing Studio! On May 1, 2026, the Studio at 15 Centre Street West in Strathroy, Ontario will take on a delightful new name: The Wobbly Bobbin. Soon, you’ll see transformations to the exterior of the store, and differences in our online presence. Brenda Miller is turning the Sewing Studio in Strathroy over to a new owner, Heather Cousins.
Heather will take over the current space and will continue to offer sewing machines, fabric, notions, classes, and more under the Wobbly Bobbin name. The online store will also change to the Wobbly Bobbin.


Brenda will continue to operate Among Brenda’s Quilts & Bags, but the focus will be on pattern design and she will no longer run the Studio in Strathroy. From her online store, she’ll sell paper patterns, PDF downloads, and online video classes based on her designs. Online video classes currently on her Make Bags With Brenda site will be transferred to her online store, and everyone who has purchased a video class will be notified of new access details in May, 2026.
