“Kawandi” is what people of African descent who migrated to Western India (Siddis) call their quilts. 

The Siddi women hand sewed scraps directly onto a backing. This technique starts in one corner, and you work your way around, adding pieces, by hand, finishing in the middle. 

We will make a table topper 16” square. The backing, thread & needles will be supplied.  You bring an assortment of scrap fabrics at least 3” square.  

Anyone under age 12 must bring an adult.
