Siddi Women at Work in Mainali, Making Quilts. Suggest watching full screen.

Watching Siddi women quilting and the community life surrounding them. I made the trip to Mainali to learn their way of quilting. Since returning home I have made 19 quilts in their manner and am about to return with some of mine to show them.
The Siddis are descendants of Africans from North-East and East Africa who were brought to India as slaves 400 years ago.

[@Waldvogel91]

There's something in me which is very receptive to the beauty of patterns; seeing all these superb quilts has satisfied that part of my brain.

[@cyn4rest]

Amazing. Love these quilts. TFS

[@MrsAChery]

Had to watch this again. I attempted to make one of my own last week. A small one ..,it came out great! I did notice some things I could do differently now that I've tried it and watched this ( and others) again.

What a beautifu video! These women certainly have patience!

[@teaorjava1]

the original fabric artists lol thx for sharing this amazing!

[@credenza1]

Thanks for sharing. Fascinating to watch.

[@willcuppy]

sorry had to comment how a quilting hoop would be no good, they are grasping and pushing to get that thread through. I love how they are FEELING the quilt as they work it.

[@CJ-rx5fi]

These women are amazing!

[@willcuppy]

plus there is a careful design to these quilts....the blocks at the edges, and repeated later, I also love the group feel of this

[@BrendaKnotts-lt7xp]

Awesome. Such a beautiful video. I love this style of quilt.

[@robinbrooks3794]

I have so many questions concerning the needle size, the needle pusher, the type of thread, etc. I am amazed at how this is something that has been done all over the world in so many different ways. It reminds me of a quilt I received from my Grandmother in law. Unfortunately it was misplaced and removed from my home. O how I wish I could get it back again. I would love to attempt this but I have painful hands. Thank you for sharing this video.

Beautiful work 🌸

👏👏👏👏👏🥰👍

[@willcuppy]

OH I so want to try this now!!

[@atree3]

they make them on an old sari. They start in one corner and work around the edges to the center.

[@RVFreeDa]

Lovely women! And that one woman has no bunion. I love seeing women working together like that to create a masterpiece with every stitch. Do they sell their quilts and if so are they expensive? And if so how does one go about buying one? So is your knee all better? Pain gone? Hope so!

[@atree3]

yes, the layers keep increasing, like a tiled roof. hard on the hands only turn under the edges that will be showing.

[@MrsAChery]

I wanna learn!!!!!! Please can you do a video of what you learned or direct us (ME!!) to where we can?

[@lisahunt966]

I want to learn how to do one love their quilt

[@TheSimutube]

Thanks for reply

[@ohjoannabanana]

This was mesmerizing. The thread they use looks so thick and the needles are so large. They must have very strong hands from working with this technique. So there is not batting in this type of quilting? It appears there are just many layers of fabric. Do they turn under the edges of each piece of fabric?

[@irmar]

The batting is in fact old saris which are too worn, faded and holey to be used again. And yes, they turn under the edges of each piece. I've seen an instructional video done by an Indian lady once, here on KZbin.

[@DLR310]

HOW DO THEY START THESE QUILTS = ON A FOUNDATION I ASSUME = IS THAT GOING TO BE THE SIZE OF THE QUILT = VERY INTERESTING STYLE ~ ~ THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR DOING IN EVERY RESPECT ~

[@jayashreesatam7079]

Where is Mainali situated?

[@elaineadair]

It appears they work in some cases, from the outside to the inside.

[@harpsi8]

peaceful gentel calm, with beaufiful colors like not so modern art my great gran would have understood these ladies. Did you ever visit the Amish? I saw on tv they are fameous for their quilts also I like their horse drawn buggies 6 mph is fast enough. great video.

[@Pinuch12]

I have seen some women from this area seem to have a fabric bag filled with something in their hand pulling the needle thru. What is it called. What does it help. How can we make one? Tell us all. Thanks

[@atree3]

It is a bunch of scraps wrapped up in a piece of fabric. Used to push the needle through the many layers of fabric. dont know what it is called. A real necessity if you are using thick thread and a big needle.

[@Pinuch12]

What thread and needle do they use?

[@KishaMonique]
