Product Description
Discover the Rhythm of Siddi Quilting
In this engaging and relaxing 4-hour workshop, you’ll discover the art of Siddi Style Quilting—a vibrant, improvisational hand stitching technique rooted in African-Indian traditions. With needle and thread in hand, you’ll create a quilted sewing roll, perfect for storing your hand sewing tools.
Siddi quilting, also known as kaudi, is a powerful and expressive craft passed down through generations. It involves layers of fabric scraps hand-stitched together in rhythmic lines to form a rich, textured surface. There’s no measuring, no rules—just instinct, texture, and the joy of slow stitching.
This class is all about embracing imperfection and letting your creativity flow freely with needle and thread. Whether you're new to quilting or looking to explore a different approach, this experience offers a fresh perspective on hand stitching and quilt making.
