I am so exited about this week’s slow stitch. I made a Kawandi after watching Marion’s World and I entered it in our local Show in the handcrafts section and received a ‘Highly Commended’. To be honest I don’t think they quite knew what it was but evidently liked it anyway. I can see doing a mini is going to be a challenge but I can’t wait to get started.

Having caught up to this week I have tried to stitch with you. I found your "whittering" so relaxing while I stitch and quite mindful, and you have a soothing voice. The problem is I slow stitch slower than you and had to pausing to catch up periodically, which wasn't so mindful so I stopped doing that. I let the video run and will play it over again as many times as I need and enjoy the whittering all over again.

I completely agree with you about keeping any tradition alive. As long as you respect and acknowledge that your quilt is inspired by the Siddi people and their tradition of Kawandi making you are not appropriating their idea. If people are not educated about these skills then they will completely die out and the history of the Siddi people will eventually be forgotten, which would be tragic for any people and their traditions. That is just my opinion. 😊

Margaret Fabrizio is sensational. I happened upon her work and genius about 6 months ago and couldn't stop telling friends my age (60s) about this inspirational woman. Her KZread channel is atree3 and lets you into the world of Fabrizio Fabulousness. I too had a little ah ha moment when Margaret said, "the minute you go into a store to buy new fabric, you've lost the plot". I kind of felt this all along, but it took her saying it to really get me to seriously adopt this mindset. Kathryn, I've only just chanced upon your channel in the past 24 hours and I've already devoured content. I can see why you have a healthy flock of subscribers (including me now).
