In-person Kawandi workshop lead by Linda Hungerford
Instructor: Linda Hungerford
Date: Saturday, February 28, 2026 Time: 1-4 EDT
Cost: $0 for SFMQG members
In 3 hours, learn the hand stitching technique of Kawandi, as made by Siddi women in India. Kawandi means “quilt” in India. Kawandi is made completely by hand - no sewing machine needed. Unless you have a desire to make a particular size, for this workshop, we’ll make a 10” X 14” finished Kawandi.
About Linda:
Linda Hungerford began sewing clothes when she was 13 years old, growing up in Ohio. While living in Iowa, in the late 1970s she taught herself quiltmaking and by the 1980s was taking classes and learning in earnest. Continuing to make quilts, she attended college while working full time, and obtained a journalism degree in 2000. That’s when she began writing articles and patterns for numerous quilting magazines, such as American Patchwork and Quilting; Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine; American Quilter; and Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting. In 2006 she wrote the book First Time Quiltmaking (Landauer Publishing/Fox Chapel Publishing). Her quilts have won awards at national shows including Machine Quilter’s Showcase, Home Machine Quilter’s Show, Road to California, and AQS; and 17 of her quilts have been juried into and displayed at eight QuiltCons. Her small “Lime ’n Luxe” quilt is included in the Modern Quilt Guild’s book Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century (C&T Publishing, 2017). After a 2012 move from West Des Moines, Iowa to The Villages, Florida, Linda founded the Central Florida Modern Quilt Guild, a chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild, where she served as president, vice president, program chair, and media coordinator.
