Blue Kawandi is finished...
I am glad I tried this in a small size.;))))
Pros to making one:
when you're done you're done--no
layering, or binding...
Cons (for me anyway):
Too hard on my hands stitching
through all those layers
and;
too many decisions
for my olde brain.
👹
I will say that I have enormous respect for
the Siddi women and anyone who
makes these in
big sizes...just amazing!!
It was a fun challenge
for me...and I used up
a lot of blue scraps, too;))).
And....
It fits just so well on my
cocktail table in front
of our fireplace...
{and so am I;))) }

Resting after the Kawandi challenge....
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to try something different now and then to know if it is anything you would want to make more of. That is a nice usable size.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo on the finish, Julierose! Kawandi looks amazing!It sounds like it a fun and interesting challenge and what a lovely selection of blues that you used. Love the dragonfly fabric. Happy Tuesday
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so cute. Glad you persisted - not you can enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteYour project is delightful. I love the litle corner flower tassels. I was expecting many rows of boro like quilting tho? Or like Kantha?
ReplyDeleteI love the way you are so fearless, always trying something new.
I've never tried one of these, yours looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteNice finish with the Kawandi! I did make a start on one ages ago but I should have gone with a smaller size, the original is languishing in a drawer - unfinished.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was a quick finish and it looks great! I have yet to try a kawandi.
ReplyDeleteI learned this method from Sujata Shah and I made two of them. My hands were not particularly happy with me so I've never made another. Good for you for giving it a go but also for knowing a single small one is enough.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your finish! It looks great on your cocktail table. Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteYay! It looks wonderful.
ReplyDelete(One of the Kawandi tutorials I saved is for machine-sewn. Less authentic but easier on the hands!)
A Kawandi outside-to-inside design might be fun to try for one of your journals.
Well done you! Of course you know I love it because it's blue.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish, Julierose. And I liked reading your pros and cons. I've always wanted to try this technique. And like you, have such respect for the women who make very large items using it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Julierose. Kawandi turned out to make a lovely table topper.
