Description

This is a cotton quilt with hand-done kantha and appliqué work on it.
Cotton fabric dates back to some of the most ancient civilizations and it has a strong presence in the modern homes as well. The incredible softness and lightness of cotton combined with its strength and versatility makes it one of the most popular choices across various home furnishing products, especially for the Indian climate. The comfort and the amazing feel that cotton offers is unparalleled.
Kantha is traditional embroidery that originated from the nimble hands of industrious women who upcycled fabric bits by stitching them together and crafted a beautiful kaleidoscope of art in the process. It has since evolved into a stunning craft that is practiced by artisans through generations. Kantha refers to a specific kind of stitch, the most basic one being a simple, straight, running stitch. The artisans use this technique to create beautiful designs. Working on a design using kantha stitch completely is a fully hand-done, laborious process and thus each piece of work takes many weeks to be completed. As kantha work comes to life on fabrics, it transforms into a legacy that is often passed forward as heirloom.
Appliqué work lends a magical beauty to the fabric with ornamental needlework bringing together pieces of fabric onto the base fabric and resulting in unique designs. Smaller pieces of fabrics are used to sew designs on top of the larger fabric, creating a delightful kaleidoscope of patterns and colours. This technique was originally used to extend the life of fabrics and later evolved into an art-form by itself.
