Kawandi : Fabric Garden
2023-07-16 10:00 - 15:00 | Fabric Garden, Suite 15, 185 Military Rd, Neutral Bay, NSW, 2089, Australia
Kawandi are traditional quilts of the Siddi people from India, they are typically made from sari scraps patched together from the outside in.
In this one day workshop you will learn how to make your own beautiful kawandi with gorgeous patchwork prints, wovens and solids.
Stitching is very organic and relaxing, giving the finished quilt lots of texture. Picking each bit of fabric to complete your quilt can be equally meditative and challenging, like working on a jigsaw puzzle.
A class kit is provided with everything you need to complete a small 30cm quilt, ensuring you learn all the techniques to finish in one day.
That’s right, unlike regular quilts, kawandi are pieced and quilted at the same time! Making this technique perfect for a beginner quilter, if you’ve lost your quilting mojo or just need something to stitch on the move without a bunch of tools.

A kit is supplied, see the website for more information and to book your spot!

Join me for a fun and educational one-day patchwork workshop on Wednesday, 7 June, 2023, from 10 am to 3:30 pm at Gallery 76 on 76 Queen Street, Concord West.
This workshop is perfect for those who are passionate about patchwork and want to learn how to create unique designs using the beautiful Winding Ways block, also known as the Wheel of Mystery.
During the workshop, we will discover how to create a scrappy look that focuses on colour and value to make those secondary designs pop. We will also learn how to make it modern by focusing on the principles of negative space, minimalism, and strong graphic lines. For those who want to take it up a notch, we will also cover fussy cutting techniques that can add an exciting twist to your designs.
Throughout the day, you will learn tips for accurate cutting and straightforward piecing, and you will make enough blocks to create a cushion or a small quilt. If you’re feeling ambitious, keep going to make a bed-sized quilt. We will provide all the equipment you need, including cutting mats, rotary cutters, pressing stations, templates in a variety of sizes from 6” to 24”, and a variety of solid and print fabrics to play with.
To participate, bring your sewing machine with a 1/4” patchwork foot or hand piecing supplies, fine piecing cotton (e.g., Aurifil 50wt), a piece of batting or flannel to use as a design wall (optional), and any special fabric you would like to include.
The workshop fee is $165, and it includes morning tea and refreshments. You can also preorder acrylic templates to make 6” or 12” blocks, Roxanne’s Glue Baste-it, or a 28mm rotary cutter to take home with you.
Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to learn in this lovely gallery setting and create beautiful designs with like-minded individuals. Book your spot online or contact me for more information. We look forward to seeing you there!
