In this 4-hour Sewing Retreat, students will experience the soothing & creative process of hand quilting, inspired by both Kawandi quilting originating in western India & the Boro stitching of Japan. We will start to make a small mat which will be finished at home once the method is taught. This is a great project that utilizes lots of scraps & if you know how to use a needle and thread, you can't mess this up!

Come join us for an afternoon of sewing with friends new and old.

MATERIALS ARE INCLUDED!
We will have a variety of fabrics to choose from including our block printed fabrics from India. Please feel free to bring your own scraps to share. We will also provide backing, batting , thread and needles.
Please note:

*No machine stitching knowledge is needed but you should know how to thread a needle and make a knot.

Cancellation Policy : 24 hour notice for rescheduling. No-shows and cancelations with less than 24 hours notice will not be refunded or rescheduled.
