Kantha in Bengali means cloth, traditionally made from the best parts of old worn saris or dhotis. Also the name of a way of stitching in which variations of running stitch are worked though all the layers of cloth, quilting them together, creating intricate designs #WomensArt

I love when clients have an idea for their quilts! This lady loves red white and blue and this is the result.

Like a girl on fire
she rises from darkness,
bequeathed with mighty
powers,
bestowed bewildering
beauty;
she will rise,
continue her ascent
unlike Icarus not
dumb enough to
go near the sun;
watch her rise,
be empowered,
all is possible,
all is possible

Finally have the top together. Of course I figured wrong and only made enough for half a top. Had to spend a day making more! Math is not easy for me. Tomorrow, put on my longarm and quilt, then binding.

Before and after of a SunBonnet Sue. The client does not want white replaced so I tried to stitch it down where I could. Love those Sues!

Before and after. Went from 64x90 to 84x96. Twin sized family top client wanted made into a queen. Added log cabin block and cream tone on tone border. Hope she is happy!

Client has this old full size family top for years. Needs it to be queen. I just need to put binding on it, then I will share the result! I love this Trip Around the World pattern.

Yellow fan quilt is done! Replaced all binding except brown with vintage prints. Replaced 5 white curved pieces with vintage muslin. Eight pieces of various fans have been replaced. I put safety pins where I work so I can find them again. Usually they blend so well I have problems doing that!

I love yellow vintage quilts! For this repair, I am covering several white sections that have frayed; a few fan pieces; and covering all binding except brown. All from my vintage stash. Will post again when done!
