Kantha

I have always loved Kantha's, they are quilted covers made from old sari's in Bengal. The stitching is amazing on some of them.
I am designing a new class for people to design and stitch their own Kantha. This is my sample, I love the way the simple rows of running stitch give the background texture.
I am putting the class forward for a possible symposium class so I will not teach is before then if it is selected, so this is just a tease!
