Beverly Kirk—Kawandi Style Quilting

Kawandi stitching is mindful, meditative, improvisational, always less than perfect because it is made one scrap at a time. This popular type of hand quilting is a way to use easy big hand-stitches to create beautiful mats, runners, and full sized quilts using nothing but scraps. Kawandi means "quilt" and Siddi men and women stitched these coverings by using a simple running stitch in concentric rounds from the outside edge towards the middle, catching all the layers of fabric to fashion a quilt. The quilt starts at the top right corner and stitching continues in a counterclockwise spiral with hand-sewn patches of different sizes. www.bquiltin.com
