Slowfiber presents a workshop led by Lyn Sandberg entitled The Upcycled Quilt: A Hand Stitching Class Using the Siddhe People's Style of Construction Commonly Known as Kawandi. Held on Saturday, August 24, 912pm-4pm. Please register on the Slowfiber website. Fee is $80.

About the Workshop

Join Lyn for this exploratory design-as-you-go piecing opportunity. Using upcycled, pre-owned, and "what's on hand" is the nature of this process. You will work on a small 18x24 inch area, making in possible to finish your project within the 4 hour class time. All layers - piecing, edging and the quilting - are worked at once.

This style of construction asks you to use what you have on hand in your cloth collection or maybe your garment donation pile. Participants are asked to avoid purchasing cloth for this process to get the full experience.
