Sherry Whetstone, Fiber Artist and Instructor is back at the InterUrban Arthouse to teach Kawandi Quilting on Saturday, October 28, 2023 from 10:30 - 2:30. 

Kawandi quilts, created by the East African Siddi women who reside in India,  are made by piecing together geometric shapes of repurposed clothing or fabric scraps. Each piece of fabric is bound together with a basic running stitch. This very unique type of quilting uses the quilt as you go method but with an interesting twist!

Supplies are included, however, for a more personal touch, please feel free to bring fabric pieces such as old clothing or loose weave cotton fabrics from your personal stash. 

A basic sewing kit that includes white embroidery thread or perle cotton #5 or 8 for stitching will be required.

This project is stitched entirely by hand so a thimble may be helpful.

Students will complete a colorful a miniature quilt ( 7” x7” ) in class. 

$60 to attend
