kantha

January began with a Stitch Club workshop
of Stewart Kelly
From a drawing on A3 we took a part
selected by a viewfinder (11 x 11 cm)
Then that piece was transferred to cotton.
The lines of it and certain areas
were stitched in Kantha style. 




After some days there was the suggestion
to flip or mirror the design
to make an even bigger pattern.
Many did that on the computer/tablet/phone
but I decided to place my first part in such a way
that I could "flip it over" three-way
and stitch the whole pattern.

There was even a follow up with bits of fabric
with the same and another design

  2. Kantha is such a lovely meditative stitch isn't it; simple, yet with so many decorative possibilities. I love the way you've varied the colours in your mirror images

    1. Love doing kantha. Well when I finished the first quarter I thought it was boring and too easy to just repeat it . . .
