“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” ~ Rumi
Kantha work
A small reversible quilt
I started this quilt, in summer of 2013;you can see it here It took to the bottom of the craft pile as my new found enthusiasm for crochet grew, and I spent more time trying out different crochet related projects. But, I did not give up on this piece, when ever I felt the need for break from other projects I went to work on it.
Recently, I came across the quilt again, and rather tossing it back, I made a promise to myself to finish it,and was true to my word.
I notice that stitches after a lapse of time has a different rhythm than the previous ones. I also ran out the thread (colours) I started with.
Although, repetitive stitching at times can be monotonous(atleast for me), the results can be surprising.
Thank you for taking time to stop by ,

so good to see the quilt completes it was well worth finishing it, personally I enjoy hand quilting and my stitches are not all the same size but I am not showing them to the quilt police so it does not matter!
