Kawandi Quilted Needle Case with Liz Smith

Stitch up a beautiful needle case with traditional Kawandi hand-quilting, using fabric scraps & felt for the needle pages. Kawandi is made with torn strips of scrap fabrics, arranged & stitched from the edge to the middle of the work, so that when the last piece of fabric is stitched in, it is finished. Liz will guide you to select a colour palette to work with & show you all the required techniques so that you’ll know how to make any larger piece that you’d like to.

Kawandi quilting has a long history hailing from the Siddi people of African descent now living in India & quilts are made with waste fabrics & used as mattresses & blankets. Traditionally stitched by women in groups, and as a special Mother’s Day class, we’d love to welcome Mothers & Daughters or Sons to spend time together, stitching together.
