Sunday, January 17, 2021: Mary Hogan – Siddi-style Quilt Making
THIS IS A LIVE, ONLINE CLASS TAUGHT ON THE ZOOM PLATFORM
The Siddi people, an ethnic group originally from Africa but now living in India, make quilts in a distinctive way. These quilts are made completely by hand using scissors, fabric, needle and thread. That’s all you really need. Construction starts at the outside edges and fabrics are added while working towards the center. Mary will show you how these quilts are made, help you get started on a small project, and share tips, tools, and construction methods.
The class runs from 9:30 AM-4:00 PM Eastern Time with a 1/2 hour break for lunch. The Zoom classroom opens at 9:00 AM and students should be online by 9:15 AM.

The lure of indigo is strong — the classic blue and white combination found in many Japanese textiles is cool, crisp, and so appealing. From classic kimonos to denim jeans, indigo has been used by many cultures for dyeing cloth, and the Japanese have refined the use of indigo to an art form. This is the class to use all those lovely blue and white shibori fabrics you’ve dyed yourself, or use carefully curated blue and white fabrics from your stash. Each participant will develop a simple geometric block design based on unfolded origami shapes, set a theme and create variations, and combine them into the beginning of a fresh and modern mini quilt top.
