i made some indian kantha quilts the last time

dear friends,the last year i made myself some kantha quilts,it is like they make quilts in india,mainly bengal,they have no batting but thousands of quiltstitches all over, if it is very hot outside,they are very useful to cover you in bed because they are 100%cotton and not so thick as a quilt would be.the second ,third and the last one i made of second hand shop fabrics,the thread i used was cotton thread almost like pearlcotton 8 but without "pearl".they are all sewn by hand, have a nice rest of the week,susi

my version of the tristan quilt

after 5 weeks of drawing and embroyderie and 9 days of handquilting my version of the tristan quilt is finished.the tristan or guiccardini quilt is the oldest existing quilt of europe and was made about 1290 on sicilly in italy,there are two quilts known,one in florence and one in london in the royal victoria and albert museum,telling the story of tristan and isolde.i mixed them a bit.the originals are sewn on white linnen with beige and brown thread,my version is dark blue linnen with natural white cotton thread. it is 250x250cm big .have a nice rest of the week,susi
