Kawandi and Kats


Yesterday I took Sujata Shah's class on making a Kawandi. It was sponsored by Portland Modern Quilt Guild and held over Zoom. We were advised to make a placemat, but that seemed too civilized for my lifestyle. Obviously, I needed to make something Molly could hide under or sleep on, so my Kawandi is about 30 inches square. (And yes, please ignore the straight pin. I didn't know pins were frowned on until too late in the class and I had already earned a demerit on my permanent record.)


Yesterday Molly tested the Kawandi to see if she could hide under it, but today she preferred to be on it because that made it much harder for me to sew.


Here is a closeup...of Molly.

And just like that, even before I can make it all around the border, the Kawandi is infested with cat patchwork.

I loved that class! I also find it challenging without pins!
Clearly it's a big hit with Miss Molly...hope the pins are out!

I hope Molly loves it as much when it's finished as she does now! (Not that I'm suggesting she's fickle. Please don't tell her I suggested she's fickle)

My mother, long dead, used the word demerit a lot. I am upper. 60s now and wonder who used the word in your family?
