Remembering the GREAT

 Siddi Quilters

KAWANDI QUILTS HISTORY AND RESOURCES

By Carole Lyles Shaw / July 28, 2024 

Many quilters have discovered and fallen in love with Kawandi quilts.  It is a wonderful project for quilters and sewers who want to explore hand piecing and quilting.  It is also a form of ‘slow stitching’.

However, I think it is important for quilters to know the history of Kawandi quilts.  I’ve seen posts on social media with people wondering about the origins or perhaps assuming that the technique was invented recently.

SIDDI QUILTERS – KAWANDI QUILTERS

The Siddi people are Indians of African descent who make the Kawandi quilts.
