Kawandi Quilting
Discussion of the traditions of Kawandi Quilting in India, along with samples of Indian Kawandi. Jen will then talk about her own introduction into Kawandi, and what makes it so special to her. Jen will show about a dozen Kawandi she has made, talk about what Kawandi has done for her, and how she uses her experience to give back to the community that has inspired her.
Meet Jen
Gotham regulars already know Jen as one of our teachers and a great friend to Andrea and Ivete!
Jen Strauser is a quilting educator and designer who works with some of the top brands in the industry. Her work has appeared in many industry publications, including Curated Quilts and McCall’s Quilting.
Jen got started quilting when her first child was a toddler – she needed something in her life that she could control. Her gallery show at the Metuchen Library was a career highlight. Currently Jen is working on a series of hand-made projects emphasizing mindfulness.
When Jen isn’t teaching, you can find her at home, dreaming up the next big project or writing about quilting for her blog, Dizzy Quilter.
