Are you ready to explore making a quilt from the outside in, entirely by hand? Join Jen Strauser and explore the art of Kawandi style quilting at your own pace in this on-demand, pre-recorded, virtual class. Jen will lead you through everything you need to know, from selecting fabrics and tools to finishing a Kawandi style quilt. What is a Kawandi Quilt? Kawandi Quilts are a traditional craft practiced by African Diaspora peoples in Western India. Traditional Kawandi are made from recycled saris. They are constructed from the outside in, which makes them a unique change of pace from western quilting traditions. If you love the texture of hand quilting, you will love making Kawandi. It is also a fantastic way to use up your scraps. About the Class In this series of videos I will show you how to get started on your own mini Kawandi style quilt. I will demonstrate the techniques I am familiar with, from beginning with the finished edges, adding decorative pops of color, filling the belly of the Kawandi, and completing your piece with decorative phula. Over an hour of instructional videos are included! Videos are broken down into small portions for easy reference, so you can go back to re-watch a specific part if you want to. Included in this virtual class are instructions for different projects you can make with your new technique (coaster, place mat and baby quilt), along with the option for a bonus project bag pattern. Also included is a "feed" where students can ask questions, post progress photos, and interact with each other. Jen monitors the feed to respond to your questions. Skill Level.
