Combines the appeal of traditional cultures' crafts with the pure enjoyment factor of this colorful, simple embroidering.
A guide to the vivid art of kantha embroidery/quilting, featuring over 200 photographs and projects for beginner and expert stitchers alike.
Kanthas, embroidered fabrics traditionally created by the women of northern India and Bangladesh, capture culture, history, and stitching creativity in their layers of repurposed old cloth. This book reveals the beauty in kantha's simplicity—it is based on simple running stitch—and offers step-by-step instructions that enable today's textile artists to enjoy it.
Kanthas were originally created from threadbare clothing to rejuvenate it. The used fabrics were layered, then embellished with motifs and themes from nature, everyday life, and spirituality. This guide leads you through the layering of fabrics, transfer of imagery, and the stitching itself. There are handy motif patterns, instructions on how to begin a personal kantha reference library, and more.
Both simple and complex projects, appealing to beginners and expert stitchers, get you started, and a colorful gallery of kantha work is included to inspire you.
