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. Suggest watching full screen.
