Kawandi Quilting Workshop with Sandra Streeter:
Join me for a creative and relaxing workshop exploring Kawandi, a traditional quilting technique from Western India. Using only a simple hand running stitch, you’ll create a colourful, textured piece while embracing the sustainable practice of reusing fabrics.
This session is perfect for both beginners and experienced makers, offering a fresh and mindful approach to quilt making that can be adapted for full-size quilts or smaller panels for bags, cushions, and other quilted creations.
What You’ll Learn
- Choosing and placing fabrics for visual impact
- Folding edges for a neat finish
- Selecting threads and creating textural interest
- Designing secondary patterns through purposeful fabric placement
- Unpicking garments to reuse as fabric (offered as a future skill—not used in this session)
Included in Your Workshop
- Expert tuition from me, Sandra Streeter
- Use of an ironing station, cutting mats, scissors, and rotary cutters
- All fabrics, you will have a bundle of fat quarters, needles, and threads provided
What to Bring
- Your coffee, tea, and snack
- Optional: a fabric you’d love to include in your quilt.
