READY TO CHANGE HOW YOU SLOW STITCH?

LEARN KAWANDI QUILTING TODAY

LET'S DO IT!

I GET IT… YOU’VE TRIED HAND QUILTING BEFORE.

But not like this.

While regular hand quilting usually starts with a quilt top, batting, and backing stitched together from the center out, Kawandi quilting flips the whole process on its head.

Originating from the Siddi community in India, Kawandi quilts are built from the outside in, piece by piece, directly onto the backing and batting. No pieced top, no fancy patterns. Just pure, intuitive stitching. Each scrap is laid down and stitched through all layers using a visible running stitch called siddi saaj. It’s part utility, part meditation, and fully grounded in heritage.

Think of it like this:

Regular hand quilting = polished, pre-planned, and trying to be perfect.

Kawandi = mindful, improvisational, made one scrap at a time.

But it’s hard to stitch mindfully when you don’t know what you’re doing.

That’s where I come in.

i’ve spent the last 12 years perfecting the technique of kawandi, so i can simplify it for you.

No more fumbling awkwardly, poking your fingers, and hoping for the best.

you’re in the right place if:

✅ Your scrap bin is overflowing and you’re tired of feeling guilty about it.

✅ You crave a stitching practice that’s meditative, intuitive, and doesn’t care about “perfect.”

✅ You’ve tried traditional quilting but it felt rigid, repetitive, or just… meh.

✅ You don’t want to buy more fabric—you want to fall in love with what you already have.

✅ You’re ready to create without a pattern, trust your gut, and know that the outcome will be beautiful.

✅ You love the idea of learning a new tradition

✅ You want to feel connected—to your hands, your fabric, and your inner artist.

**kawandi-style quilting helps you create something that is both useful + beautiful, without buying anything new.**

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS

I’VE GOT ANSWERS

Kawandi is meditative and process-focused, not productivity-driven. It’s supposed to be slow and mindful.
You can make a small project in a day or two, or a bed-sized quilt over the course of several weeks.
Good. That means you don’t have anything to unlearn. Kawandi isn’t traditional hand quilting. It’s forgiving, rhythmic, and wildly beginner-friendly. If you can thread a needle and make a running stitch, you’re in.
You’re allowed to learn—with respect. Kawandi quilting is a living tradition. The key is learning with context, giving credit where it’s due, and not stripping it of its roots to fit your personal aesthetic. Appreciate, don’t appropriate.
Yes—and it’ll make you fall in love with them again. Kawandi isn’t just a stash buster. It’s a mindset shift. You’ll stop asking if a fabric is “good enough” and start listening to how it wants to be used.
As long as I’m in business! If I ever decide to retire, I’ll let you know so you can download any course materials (But is that at all likely? Do quilters ever retire?)
