This event has already passed
Slowfiber presents a workshop led by Lyn Sandberg entitled Another Way: Using the Siddhe People's Quilt Construction Commonly Known as Kawandi. Held on Friday, September 27, 12:30pm-4:30pm. Fee is $80. Register here.
About the Workshop
Join Lyn for this exploratory design-as-you-go quilt piecing opportunity. In this Kawandi class, you'll work themed, coordinated, and with a border. The goal is to complete a small 18x24 inch area within the 4 hour class time. All layers - piecing, edging and the quilting - are worked at once.
This style of construction asks you to use what you have on hand in your cloth collection or maybe your garment donation pile. Participants are asked to avoid purchasing cloth for this process to get the full experience.
