    Margaret, The Indian women are doing automatic sewing or piecing. I've done it for years. Artists, musicians, and writers also do automatic work. You just put down on cloth ( in a sewer's case) whatever talks to you, and make no judgments. Then when you're "done" you celebrate the creativity and freedom that you had the pleasure to experience. When an artist looks at his/her work and says " Where in the heck did that come from?" then you know you've experienced the creative miracle. Annette Hepner

    Well Margaret, I am so glad the TH-cam algorithm (isn't that light years away from Siddi quilting?) popped one of your videos in my feed. I am in love with Siddi, with your experiences ;and I want to say this is something I have been looking for but didn't know it.
    I started an English Paper Pieced hexagon quilt during the pandemic, designing it as I got a bunch of hexies made, having fun. It is free flowing with bright wonderful colors and darker but vibrant colors. I am new to sewing and have not made a quilt before the hexagon one. I am hand sewing the hexagons together and enjoying that process. It is almost Zen-like. But what I really like about doing my own "design" is that I don't need to follow a pattern making sure everything is done "perfectly".
    Margaret, this is going to be my next chapter with fabrics. I hope to learn as much about myself doing a Siddi-like quilt as you have. I can't wait to view more of your videos.
    Be well and thank you! Warm hugs from Minnesota, Fern

    That quilt actually has colors I'm contemplating (bought) for a small lap quilt. The saffron and blue, but she has a bit of green I might add to it. I love bold, fearless quilters, they are the greatest inspiration. Wonderful interview.

    I just watched this video and I absolutely get what you are saying! I had the same feelings the first time I seen the gees bend quilts. I recently came across this style quilt and became intrigued! Im wanting to make one but trying to educate myself on the process as I want be going to India or Africa😂 your videos help so much! I appreciate you sharing all you have learned. Your work is so randomly beautiful, inspiring and a blessing to us all. I absolutely adore you!! God bless you!! I just found your channel so going to catch up on all your videos. I guess you could say these quilts have "no rhyme or reason" maybe I'll call my first quilt that😆🤣🤭. 🕊

    An absolutely delightful interview, Margaret, and a lot of insight into the strange magic of the Siddi quilts. It's remarkable how our own culture is the biggest block to grasping their concepts.

    I love Margaret's enthusiasm and because of her love of the Kawandi quilt technique, she has inspired me to make my own sampler, and I'm trying not to think, as she says, (ha!) but my artistic eye wants to match up the colors, create contrast and line things up nicely...but NO!!! I need a LOT more practice that's for sure..and she's right, I go into a zen type of mode, my stress is lessened and my brain is soothed from creating something that I love. Cheers and love from sunny FL 😀

    I just love these Siddi quilts and the Gees Bend ones. This is the 3rd time that I have watched these vids. I love that I can just put down a base fabric no need for batting even - an old duvet cover, sheet or pieces sewn together and sew on pieces of old clothes where ever I like. Quilt as you go. All I need do is fold over the raw edges and finger press. I have some strong white cotton yarn just need a big needle. Does anyone else have boxes and boxes of fabric that are really old clothes that you somehow acquire, not even my clothes.

    They definitely think about what they are doing. That was evidenced by how the lady auditioned, selected, and/or rejected pieces of fabric to include in her final piece. We do it all the time. What the Siddi women do requires something that comes from within. It is meditative, contemplative, and soulful.

  • @romytaylor1817
    @romytaylor1817 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I completely get her questions of, "why this there?", "why did I do that?". This is how I know I am creating something amazing, when I can't even explain what I made. Also, the key to anything we create that is beautiful is to always have a part of it that we call, "ugly", because usually, that "ugly" part turns out to be the most fascinating thing about it!

    what a wonderful character she is. i like her sense of fashion - i hope i look like her in another 10 years; been a fabric addict since i was a child. more important though, is her exposure to quilts of the world and the amazing artistry of so called "peasants" - they are real innovators and artists. she is right in that her quilt, compared to theirs, doesn't have the same mystery or sensibility... i guess that is innate to each culture. But her quilts are great too! i think her 2nd one is more successful. i like how she is thinking and explains her processes. agree about how lovely old clothes are - that softness. She is doing such exciting things!

    Your latest video how one sees really connected with me. It's exactly the thought processes i'm going through at the moment.Trying to surrender and be free with my colours, textures and not being judgemental on differing types of fabric whether new or old, found or bought. I seem to be exploring the idea that everything is and has it's right to be there. Almost like rescuing people and putting them together in a village and saying "you are all equal now get on with it"

    Margaret, I think one of the possibilities of completing the mystery would be (if you were physically and mentally able) to go back to the village and show the quilts you've made to the women who make the Siddi quilts ... I think the experience would be phenomenal. I'm not sure what your situation is now with regard to your knee surgery, but if you could possibly do it, you should try and make the trip with quilts in hand!

    I’m curious … what is the pink thing in Margaret’s hand when she is sewing on her Kawandi? In the video of the Siddi women, one had something also in the hand. The best comment was when Margaret was watching, the neighbor comes by from next door and tosses some different cloth to use in the quilt. Love going down the Rabbit Hole in finding a beautiful art form in hand stitching. Thank you Margaret.

    You trying to understand the quilts of the “Sidi” (sp) is akin to me trying to understand what goes on in your mind, heart and soul when you are playing Bach. I will NEVER understand it. I can only relish and enjoy its magical effect ON me.
    And to try to reproduce it exactly is futile and somewhat destructive I think.

I've always felt a little odd in how i make my choices when i make things.it is difficult to understand if your brought up in traditional society, we arent as free thinkers as some communities. i can understand your questioning what you see and how you see it. but with this art form, i think it seems to be a matter of color and movement for their pieces. and planning is not a part of it, freeform from the heart.

    To try to “understand” art or a particular artistic expression is to attempt to intellectualize it. One can never successfully intellectualize an artistic expression of feeling. Intellect and emotion are oil and water.

    I don't think that it matters about fabric choice or sensibilities. Just use up that fabric!

I hate how wasteful we have all become.
