Kawandi : AQC
2024-04-14 09:00 - 17:00 | Royal Exhibition Building, 9 Nicholson St, Carlton Gardens, Melbourne, Victoria, 3053, Australia
Kawandi are traditional utility quilts made by the Siddi community of India. Each quilt has a beautiful texture. Traditionally, they are made from sari scraps, patched and stitched together from the outer edges of a foundation piece.
This is a technique class where you will learn the art of Kawandi hand-stitching and the quilt-as-you-go method. This means that you will piece and quilt your sampler at the same time.
The Kawandi process of piecing and hand stitching is mindful and relaxing. Choosing each new fabric addition, whether a solid or print, then stitching it in place, is meditative and creative.
The expected outcome of the class is that you will complete a Kawandi sampler piece, of about 45cm (18″) square.
Skill level: All

Winding Ways : AQC
2024-04-13 09:00 - 17:00 | Royal Exhibition Building, 9 Nicholson St, Carlton Gardens, Melbourne, Victoria, 3053, Australia
The traditional block Winding Ways is also known as The Wheel of Mystery. Learn the magic of secondary design and accurate curved machine piecing. Discover how to transform your scraps into a cohesive design using colour and value, or use an ombre fabric for a simple, no waste design.
This workshop will focus on machine piecing the 12″ Winding Ways block to create interesting secondary patterns. The exercise can be simple or complex, traditional or modern, depending on the fabric choice.
You will learn how simple gentle curves yield an impressive impact, how fabric choices can change your quilt’s look, the impact of fussy cutting and how to make a secondary design ‘pop’. You’ll achieve accurate cutting and curved piecing techniques using the 12″ Winding Ways acrylic templates.
There is an option to create a straight or scalloped quilt edge, for those seeking an extra challenge!
The expected outcome of the class is that you will make enough blocks to create a cushion or small quilt.
Skill level: Basic skills required
Materials: The 12″ Winding Ways Template Set is required for this class.
Kit cost: $45 for templates, payable direct to the tutor. Please have the exact amount in cash in an envelope with your name on, to hand to the tutor at the start of the class.
