Kwandi inspired quilts.- Quilt fusion 8 weeks on zoom. OCT- 4/11/18/25. NOV 1/8/15/21

In this 8 week online course we are going to make a quilt from a fusion of techniques both Indian and Western.

We will learn the traditional way to make Kwandi and Kantha Indian quilting techniques.
We will also look at journal quilts, how they are made in sections and the importance of telling your own story. Our quilts tell stories, in a similar way to written journals. They can be stitched, pieced, appliqued. They can be figurative or abstract.
We will look at all these aspects, allowing the freedom for you to create your own style of quilt.
A quilt is an intrinsic part of you, a part that will connect you to to whoever sees, holds or touches the quilt.
It may well outlive you, it will then live on, connecting you to others for many years to come. It is a true form of self expression….
