First time seeing one of your videos and will have to make one of these soon. Your comment at the end of your video about going outside and looking at the blessings God made for us all is what got me to subscribe. I start my day with saying good morning to the Father and Son and thank them for the blessing of a new day and ask them walk with me through it. God bless
Thank you so very much for your wonderful comment and for subscribing. The Lord is always here, we just have to welcome Him in. May He shine His light and love on you always! 🥰🌺✝
I have a friend from India ,and i was researching quilts from her country. I found this technique along with Kantha about a week ago. I really plan to try these. Thank you for this video. I look forward to more.
My husband is from India and I’ve been exploring other techniques from there too. I’ll be doing more videos soon. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching, Susan!
Thank you for introducing me to Kawandi! Wow! What a great way to make things meditatively! A fabulous way to make a background for embroidery or just a simple unadorned piece. I love the improvisational method and working with what you have. You have my creative juices flowing. So many opportunities for this way of quilting. Thank you for the blessings that you send, I am not a Christian, but I am sending my good energy to you as well. Peace and thank you again.
I have never seen this type of quilting before. You have inspired me to try this. You gave easy clear instructions to follow so I think this will be a fun project. Thank you for sharing
Kawandi was a new method found only today. It was mentioned on a Facebook thread. I immediately started searching for a tutorial and found yours. It did such a great job of explaining the technique. I can hardly wait to start. I’ve been quilting for over fifty years and am so grateful that I can still find methods that I didn’t know about. Thank you so much for your great tutorial.
Wow! It's not like I need to become addicted to another quilting technique, but after this introduction I think I'm already on my way! Beautiful - and such a great way to use up our lovely scraps! Thank you for sharing all of this 😊
Thanks for watching, Mary! This is a fun project! I also have done a traditional hand stitched version and recently started adding slow stitching into my quilting. That is also so much fun!
No this isn't the most authentic. Kwandi is hand quilted. Once you add the machine, it's no longer kwandi. Also there are other techniques that she omitted, that is required for this to be kwandi. This is kwandi inspired but it's definitely not kwandi
God bless you, sister. I will pray for your quick healing. I have videos on traditional hand stitched Kawandi too. I love doing it by hand. Thanks for watching, Nilda.✝✝✝✝📖📖📖📖🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so very much for watching and for your sweet comment, Beadpup! You just made my night!... er, morning! I have more of these coming soon! They are so much fun!
How lovely to watch your video, and your comments on praying for people as you add each square...your ending comments just filled my heart...bless you...i will definitely be watching more!
Melissa! Hey girl!! I have something u may want to check into that would help u to be able to heat press and hold ur edges a little easier that all that hard finger pressing. I can’t finger press like that because of after so many years of nursing nursing and hand washing my skin is just trashed. I’m like a crunchy snake in the sun. 🤣 It is not as good as a big iron and pressing mat but better than fingers. It is a Clover mini iron. You can also buy different attachments for the size plate u want to use. Won’t b like standing and pressing but better than fingers getting sore. This technique is beautiful!!Much love Laura💙
Hi Lovey! You know, you are a smart cookie! I actually have one of those! It is still in the package too! I'll give it a try cause I have a lot more Kawandi in my future! Thanks for watching, Laura. Love ya!🥰🌺✝️
Thank you for sharing this with us. I've seen Kawandi done by hand. I think this was fun, fast, and interesting. It would make a beautiful table cover. I want to see you doing the additional work on it. You explain and demonstrate very well. Have a blessed day.😊🙏💖🌹🍀
Thanks for watching, Liz! I've done videos on Kawandi by machine and by hand. I'll be exploring more Indian quilting techniques in future videos. It is fascinating to see how different countries all make quilts in different and fun ways.
Thanks for watching, Bama! I have more of these coming and am going to be making scrappy kits for a table runner available soon so subscribe so you don't miss it!
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your machine technique. I made a hand-sewn kawandi last year, and I did include batting. I definitely prefer your method without it. I'm off to pull out my scrap basket and start another one. Again, many thanks for sharing.
I've done a small kawandi quilt by hand with perle cotton and it's so interesting to see your machine version of this method! I see lots of Kaffe Fassett scraps in your project. So pretty! I love seeing new ways of doing things... I will try this! Thank you for the inspiration. Cheers from Nova Scotia.
I will be launching a traditional Kawandi table runner kit next week, I'm working on the instruction video tonight, polishing up the instructions and preparing the kits this weekend. Thanks for watching, Laurie! Check my Community tab for a photo of the finished piece.
My dil has requested of me, after making her a Halloween table runner, that she wants one for every holiday. Faced with less than a month to do so and no ideas, its been overwhelming and i just wasnt going to make one for Christmas. After all, if she gets it for Christmas she will just be packing it away till next year. So im thinking ill give this a try in mostly red and white and pink fabrics for valentines day. So thankyou so much for this video. I needed this kick in the rear end to get started and make her the table runner she has requested of me. Ive made her aprons, burp pads, baby blankets, big pads to put between glass things she packs, and fabric baskets for her casserole dishes, lots of coasters, and i should be delighted that she has finally actually given me the biggest compliment by asking me to make something for her..
I hope you have fun with this and hope that your DIL will love it and use it for many years. I'm glad I was able to give you an idea, Rae. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching, Sherry. I’m working on more Kawandi projects. This time the traditional hand stitching. I’ll have table runner kits available soon.
I've got another video on this technique doing it all by hand in a table runner kit, if you like. I'll also be doing more of these types of projects including Boro and Kantha. Lots of fun. Thanks for watching, Jan!
I am in the middle of my 2nd Kawandi and will be teaching the hand quilting method to my quilt group. I enjoyed your video and will tell my friends about your machine sewing method.
Thanks for watching and sharing my channel, Theresa! I have also done a hand sewing version. I really enjoy these techniques and will be doing more of them in the future.
This is an amazing process. I have not seen this before at least not exactly like this. Not sure I would ever attempt hand-stitching but will continue to watch for additional information on this. You have definitely got my attention on this. I will look for more before I give it a try. I don’t have a lot of scraps. I tend to use up whatever I get since I buy a lot of precuts to work with. I rarely have much left over. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, SLopez! I have more Kawandi projects coming, including a traditional handstitched table runner kit. Subscribe so you don't miss it.
I really enjoyed this video. I just stumbled on your video while looking for some kawandi content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I will have to check out some of your other videos.
Thank you for your informative video. I have only just recently heard of Kawandi patchwork and am keen to have a go! I certainly need something to crank me back up!
I just found you and I have subscribed to your channel. I love your machine sewn Kawandi and I will give it a try today. I will try it using a bandana as the backing so I will have a sample to refer to as your future videos show how you end up with your milkweed and butterfly art piece. Loved your video and I have a feeling if we were neighbors we would be best of friends. Have a beautiful day. Thank you for sharing this technique. Renee’
I have never been able to wrap my head around this before. Thanks a million! I am glad the weather is cool for you. Most of British Columbia ( and our neighbours across the border in Washington state ) are starting a VERY early heat wave. The forecast shows a high of 34 Celsius ( 92/93F) for Mother’s Day and Monday. Not unusual for July or August, but definitely odd for the middle of May.
Hi Amber! I have more ideas with Kawandi coming. My head is full of them. I'm excited to get started on more of them! Thanks for watching, and God bless! 🥰🌺✝️
Hi Mary, Yes, I saw Brenda's videos too. I will be doing more of these and there will be kits coming as soon as I get them tested. I just adore this technique and am excited to explore it more. Thanks for watching!
Hermosísima técnica. No la conocía. Gracias por ese tutorial tan bien explicado. Voy a practicar esta técnica, pero creo que lo haré en la máquina de coser también. Gracias por compartir 🤗😘
I have more Kawandi projects coming, Jan, and will be making table runner kits available soon. Just working on the sample piece/instructions now. Thanks for watching!
I thought that they put cotton scarves in the middle or light blankets for the batting. I have never done this before, but watched another vidio from a lady doing a traditional one.
Yes, the tradition is to use old saris for the "batting". Kawandi is lots of fun, both machine and hand. I have videos on both techniques. I'll be doing more traditional Indian style quilt videos soon. Thanks for watching, Charley!
Might I suggest using a bamboo barbeque skewer to push fabric under the needle. It is rough enough to stay still as the needle approaches, but soft enough to be sewn through if necessary. Much safer than using a metal implement that may spit metal shards when it is split by a needle. also cheaper than replacing the needle. A packet of bbq skewers is in my sewing kit.
Hi I tried the Kandi by machine because my right hand hurts so. My issue is I can’t feel secure if I’m not pinning it. How do the pieces stay straight if u don’t pin it? Also when I start on the second row, my brain wants me to place fabrics in a straight line instead of however the line ends up previously. I’m reviewing the videos again to change the way my brain looks at sewing! 😂 thank you for showing us Kawandi because although I’ve seen these quilts, I really didn’t know the history!
I have another video on traditional hand stitched Kawandi as well. You have to ignore what your brain is telling you and just go with the process. Once you see the process enough times you'll be able to try it without your brain trying to control what you do. Start small. Maybe make a placemat just to learn the process. Thanks for watching, Theresmore2learn!
Never tried this. It looks to be fun and interesting. Kind of like doing a crazy quilt, different technique. I’m getting inspired and eager to try 😉😀 I Like your sense of humor… inserted clips of video… 👍🤗
Thank you, Gigi, for your kind comment and for watching. I'm working on a handsewn version of this now that I'm turning into table runner kits. It is lots of fun!
❤❤ This is my first time seeing Kawandi. Very interesting and so enjoyed your video. Love your color choices and such a great way of using your scraps.😊 Thank you for sharing!
I like the idea of using selvage pieces in this. Wondering if it would work to leave the raw edge of the selvage - rather than turning it under. Thinking the pieces with the little bit of fringe on the end might give it a fun texture. What do you think?
Any needle will work. I believe I have a quilting needle in there but honestly, an 80/20 would be fine. There is no batting so it is only a few layers of fabric. Thanks for watching, Andrea. I also have a traditional hand sewn Kawandi project too. Look for the video.
I am fascinated. I do not handstitch bc I just don't enjoy it. I am, however, an avid sewist with my machine. I am thinking that I will try this with a smaller piece of base fabric, and use it to create a zipper bag or purse.
That would be a lovely little project, Nina! I didn't think I'd like handwork anymore either and I am just having so much fun exploring slow stitching. Thanks for watching!
Those triangle corners are “flowers” (squares folded into 4) and you insert them as you do the first round, or after. Start your first edge a little away from the corner so you can insert that corner piece as you finish.
Yes, that would be very nice. Thanks for watching, Linda! I am launching a new Kawandi project with Kits next week. Check my Community Posts to see a sneak peak.
Give it a try, Karen, it is LOTS of fun! You can always use another pot holder! Yes, you can put Insulate/batting in between the backing and the scraps. You can even use scraps of batting to make a larger project!
So, there's always one edge that is not top stitched, right? So you are creating a little channel where dirt could accumulate? And why did you cover that lovely colorful quilt with that other fabric?
This piece is a wall hanging so it won’t accumulate dirt. All sides get stitched down. I don’t know what you are referring to about covering a quilt. I didn’t cover a quilt in this project. Thanks for watching, Mimi.
I see you add your new pieces on the top instead of tucking each piece under the last piece. I hope that makes sense. Or maybe you used both techniques and I missed it.
You are correct, Anna. I have a new traditional Kawandi video coming out on Tuesday night and I’ll have kits available for sale the same night. Thanks for watching!
I know what Kawandi is, I have videos on traditional Kawandi. I did it by machine in this video to show folks who don't/can't do hand work that they can make this too. Thanks for watching.
I do show how to put this together in the video. I am working on a traditional hand sewn version of this now and will have kits available soon. Thanks for watching, Mickey.
Hi Donna, thanks for watching, I'll be making kits for Kawandi table runners soon. They'll be in my website. I'll be doing a livestream and making one by hand during the show.
Thanks for exploring and sharing. You always make everything do-able for new quilters, like mysel.
Wow, Karen, you just brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for such a wonderful comment! That is exactly why I do these videos!
She does doesn't she!
Thank you, Kathy! 🥰😘

So beautiful and intriguing. Always to do this! I might try using a thicker top thread like 20 wt or 12 wt.
I have never seen this type of quilting before. You have inspired me to try this. You gave easy clear instructions to follow so I think this will be a fun project. Thank you for sharing
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video, V. I have more Kawandi projects coming soon, including a table runner kit. Thanks for watching.
I am falling in love with Kawandi. It is on my list to explore. Thanks for making this wonderful tutorial.
Have fun with it, Diana, it is lots of fun. Both machine and by hand. Thanks for watching!
I’ve tried Kawandi by machine but your video really explained a few questions that I had. Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Stitcher! And, thanks for watching! I'll be doing more of these so subscribe!

Of all the videos on this style/method this is the most authentic
No this isn't the most authentic. Kwandi is hand quilted. Once you add the machine, it's no longer kwandi. Also there are other techniques that she omitted, that is required for this to be kwandi. This is kwandi inspired but it's definitely not kwandi
thanks for the video. Dont find this as exciting and satisfying as crumb quilting. I will give this a miss.
Crumbs are so fun too, Itsmy Party! This is just a different way to sew them down. Thanks for watching!
You are my blessing for today. I just found your channel while laying in bed recovering from a fall. I love this kind of work. Blessings 🙏🙏👋👋👍👍👍❤️
God bless you, sister. I will pray for your quick healing. I have videos on traditional hand stitched Kawandi too. I love doing it by hand. Thanks for watching, Nilda.✝✝✝✝📖📖📖📖🥰🥰🥰🥰

I hope you have fun with this and hope that your DIL will love it and use it for many years. I'm glad I was able to give you an idea, Rae. Thanks for watching!
How interesting this was! It is a technique I have not seen! I like it! Thank you! I look forward to seeing your next steps!
Thanks for watching, Sherry. I’m working on more Kawandi projects. This time the traditional hand stitching. I’ll have table runner kits available soon.
Very clear instruction!
HOW did I not know about this before?!?!?! Holy carp, I'm so loving this because I LOVE scrap quilting!
I've got another video on this technique doing it all by hand in a table runner kit, if you like. I'll also be doing more of these types of projects including Boro and Kantha. Lots of fun. Thanks for watching, Jan!

Greetings from Dubbo, N.S.W. Australia. I happened onto your channel after watching Kathy's Kwiltz and Krafts.
Welcome, Pamela! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thanks for the clear explanation of this interesting technique. I see a kawandi-inspired placemat or wall-hanging in my future...
Nicely done ❤🙏 from India (Hindustan) thanks
Mr. Dinky is adorable!

I’m brand new to your channel. I’m now interested in Kawandi and think I will attempt it soon.
Thanks for watching and subscribing, Barbara! I love Kawandi. I also have a hand work traditional Kawandi video too. So much fun.
Oo I’ve always wondered what I’d do with my machine’s fancy stitches. I feel a hybrid vibe with Victorian crazy patchwork with embroidered overlay
I have never been able to wrap my head around this before. Thanks a million! I am glad the weather is cool for you.

Oh dear, Kelley, I hope the heat wave breaks soon for you. Yes, we've had a cool spring and it has just been so delightful! Thanks for watching!
thank you for this tutorial, i want to know , do you used all kind of fabric or just cotton? thanks
This is such s wonderful new idea, thank you so much for sharing! 🙂I love the idea of making a prayer quilt this way. ❤🥰
Hi Amber! I have more ideas with Kawandi coming. My head is full of them. I'm excited to get started on more of them! Thanks for watching, and God bless! 🥰🌺✝️
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing 👍🏿
I saw this on conquering mount scrapmore awhile back. It is so facinating. I believe she featured hand and machine stich types on separate videos.
Hi Mary, Yes, I saw Brenda's videos too. I will be doing more of these and there will be kits coming as soon as I get them tested. I just adore this technique and am excited to explore it more. Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤❤ vous êtes géniale! Je vais essayer cette technique. Je vous écris de France.
Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé !
Beautifully done and clearly shown to us! Thanks.
Thanks for watching, Jamie!
Thank you for explaining kawandi. I can’t wait to try it! ❤️
Hermosísima técnica. No la conocía. Gracias por ese tutorial tan bien explicado. Voy a practicar esta técnica, pero creo que lo haré en la máquina de coser también. Gracias por compartir 🤗😘
¡Muchas gracias por mirar, Ingrid! ¡A máquina oa mano, este es un proyecto divertido! Dios los bendiga. 🥰🌺
Wonderful!
Thanks for watching Theresa!
I made a place mat sized piece today - it's certainly not perfect, but I really enjoyed it. I'm going to have another go. Thanks for a great tutorial.
It is such a fun project. I'm glad you tried it an had fun. Thanks for watching, Diva!
Thank you for this information!
I have more Kawandi projects coming, Jan, and will be making table runner kits available soon. Just working on the sample piece/instructions now. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for you for sharing.❤
You are most welcome, Pauline. Thanks for watching!🥰
Really a novel craft, will b trying this. If you wanted to use those beautiful threads, you could couch them on using invisible thread. Thank you
That sure would save a lot of hand aches! Thanks for watching,
Carol!
I am not a ha d stitcher either but I would love to try this. Thank you for this video.
I'm working on a hand stitched version of this now, Mickey. It works up fast. Thanks for watching!
Might I suggest using a bamboo barbeque skewer to push fabric under the needle. It is rough enough to stay still as the needle approaches, but soft enough to be sewn through if necessary. Much safer than using a metal implement that may spit metal shards when it is split by a needle. also cheaper than replacing the needle. A packet of bbq skewers is in my sewing kit.
I agree, Helen. I am going to sharpen some chopsticks in my pencil sharpener and use those. Thanks for watching!
It’s fabulous
Thanks for watching, Catherine. I'll be making kits for these soon. I'll be doing a livestream showing the kits for a table runner.

I bet they were real pretty! Thanks for watching, Dari!
Never tried this.
It looks to be fun and interesting. Kind of like doing a crazy quilt, different technique. I’m getting inspired and eager to try 😉😀
I Like your sense of humor… inserted clips of video… 👍🤗
Thank you, Gigi, for your kind comment and for watching. I'm working on a handsewn version of this now that I'm turning into table runner kits. It is lots of fun!
❤❤ This is my first time seeing Kawandi. Very interesting and so enjoyed your video. Love your color choices and such a great way of using your scraps.😊 Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching, Mary. I have more Kawandi projects coming, including a kit for a Kawandi table runner.
You are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for everything you.
Love this!
Thanks for watching, Judy
I like the idea of using selvage pieces in this. Wondering if it would work to leave the raw edge of the selvage - rather than turning it under. Thinking the pieces with the little bit of fringe on the end might give it a fun texture. What do you think?
That is exactly what I did, in both this one and the traditional Kawandi piece. The selvedge edges don't get turned under. Thanks for watching, Marty!
Yes, it is awesome 👍👍
Thanks for watching, Elsy!
Super beautiful and I'm inspired!!! What size needle are you using in your machine?
Any needle will work. I believe I have a quilting needle in there but honestly, an 80/20 would be fine. There is no batting so it is only a few layers of fabric. Thanks for watching, Andrea. I also have a traditional hand sewn Kawandi project too. Look for the video.
I am fascinated. I do not handstitch bc I just don't enjoy it. I am, however, an avid sewist with my machine. I am thinking that I will try this with a smaller piece of base fabric, and use it to create a zipper bag or purse.
That would be a lovely little project, Nina! I didn't think I'd like handwork anymore either and I am just having so much fun exploring slow stitching. Thanks for watching!
Blessings to you😊
Can I leave the folded edges open and sew kawandis together at their edges to make a bed-size quilt?
Those triangle corners are “flowers” (squares folded into 4) and you insert them as you do the first round, or after. Start your first edge a little away from the corner so you can insert that corner piece as you finish.
Love your videos. Thank you for teaching us this technique. Appreciate it very much.
And I appreciate you watching my videos and leaving such sweet comments, Evelyn! 🥰
Awesome
Thanks for watching, Gail!
YOU could always couch your pretty threads down
Yes, that would be very nice. Thanks for watching, Linda! I am launching a new Kawandi project with Kits next week. Check my Community Posts to see a sneak peak.
😊I liked it before you put the last layer of fabric . Thank you.
Thanks for watching, Charmian!
I have never heard f this before, thanks
Give it a try, Karen, it is LOTS of fun! You can always use another pot holder! Yes, you can put Insulate/batting in between the backing and the scraps. You can even use scraps of batting to make a larger project!
So, there's always one edge that is not top stitched, right? So you are creating a little channel where dirt could accumulate?
And why did you cover that lovely colorful quilt with that other fabric?
This piece is a wall hanging so it won’t accumulate dirt. All sides get stitched down. I don’t know what you are referring to about covering a quilt. I didn’t cover a quilt in this project. Thanks for watching, Mimi.
tks Love it!
Thanks for watching, Beverly. I have more Kawandi coming soon. I'm working on a traditional Kawandi table runner kit that will be available soon.
It's not called siddi. Siddi is the name of the tribe/ethnic group that does kwandi. My husband is Siddi.
Thank you for the clarification... It's important
Hallelujah ❤
There is batting. It is thin, and added after the first row of stitching. Interesting, but a Kawandi is hand sewn.
Consider it a modern twist. I have done traditional Kawandi and have videos on it. The traditional "batting" is usually worn/old cotton saris.
I see you add your new pieces on the top instead of tucking each piece under the last piece. I hope that makes sense. Or maybe you used both techniques and I missed it.
You are correct, Anna. I have a new traditional Kawandi video coming out on Tuesday night and I’ll have kits available for sale the same night. Thanks for watching!
My machine has a pretend hand stitch design
❤❤❤
Kawandi should be done by hand, and the top isnt appliquéd
I know what Kawandi is, I have videos on traditional Kawandi. I did it by machine in this video to show folks who don't/can't do hand work that they can make this too. Thanks for watching.
i understand a kanwandi is handsewn; did i miss something? 🧐🥴
It is hand sewn. This is actually inspired by kwandi, not actually kwandi.
I need to see it done, the explanations lose me every time, sorry.
I do show how to put this together in the video. I am working on a traditional hand sewn version of this now and will have kits available soon. Thanks for watching, Mickey.
I'm interested in kawandi, not being blessed, chickens or your watermelon diet!
@@LeilaniBennett-i2d thanks. My thoughts exactly..
Well this isn't actually kwandi either, lol. It's inspired by but not actually kwandi
Please say a prayer for Israel, we need prayers for all of us Israeli citizens, both Jews and Arabs.
I pray every day for them. This world is so dark. We need Jesus and His light. Thanks for watching, Henna!
Please, “Mr. Dinky and I,” not “Mr. Dinky and me.”
LOL, thanks for watching, Deborah! I head my mom's voice reading that!
Sorry, it’s the teacher in me!!
Can hardly wait to start a kawandi piece and start looking for some organza!
Hi Donna, thanks for watching, I'll be making kits for Kawandi table runners soon. They'll be in my website. I'll be doing a livestream and making one by hand during the show.
