I've caught the stitching bug! For someone who lost their sewing mojo for a while, picking up a needle and thread to stitch along with a group on Instagram has certainly helped bring back my inclination to sew, sew, sew. After finishing my blue Liberty Kantha Table Runner last week, I felt at a loss. I had enjoyed the process so much, that I was a little bit sad when the project was finished. I decided that I needed to start another one... fast! For this next project, I chose to go with the warmer shades from my stash of Liberty fabric. It's another improvisational patchwork piece made up with mostly pinks & reds. The fabric panel was approximately 19" square. I fused it to a quite lofty piece of pellon to see how it would work. My previous project had been sandwiched with a piece of cotton batting like I would use in a regular quilt. Again, I used perle cotton in size 8 for the stitching and chose a few complimentary colours to work with. Honestly, I think I stitched up this piece within a couple of days. The texture is just divine! I squared it up to 18" and made it into a pillow. The backing is a plane linen fabric which I lightly quilted on my machine. Today, it's going to live in a new home at a friends house. She has just bought her first home and I think the addition of a lovely pink textured cushion to her couch might make her smile.

Kantha is a specific style of embroidery originating from India, mainly Bangladesh and West Bengal. It consists of vintage cotton or silk saris which are layered on top of each other and stitched together with a simple running stitch throughout the fabric and along the edges. Typically, a minimum of three cotton or silk sari layers make up each piece of kantha fabric. This forms a thin, light quilt that is soft, comfortable and cool. Kantha blankets' primary original purpose was to serve as blankets to sleep in. As you can see, there are endless functional and beautiful uses for kantha! In addition to being extremely versatile and aesthetically pleasing, kantha is also environmentally-friendly choice as it is created by repurposing vintage cotton or silk saris. Each kantha item has its own story to tell, and no two items are alike! Sometimes there may be a little wear in the top layer exposing the gorgeous, eye-catching layer beneath, or sometimes they may sport a little patching adding to the charismatic appeal. Here at Turquoise Tree Designs you can purchase the traditional handmade vintage quilts and also many accessories made from kantha quilts. I use many of the items in my campervan, kitchen, and home. The fabric is scrumptiously soft, absorbent and quick to dry! Please have a browse around – I’m sure you will find a unique and exquisite gift for a friend, loved one, or yourself!
