Meme's Stitch - The Kantha Collection



Meme's Stitch - The Kantha Collection
Meme’s Stitch:
Meme’s Stitch is the perfect color. The softest touch of green invigorates this grayish hue, which will make it an excellent color for a paint wash on bare wood – the touch of green neutralizes red tones, while the gray undertone makes it sensible and relevant in your current color palette.
The Kantha Collection
Kantha symbolizes making whole again that which was fragmented or broken. It is one of the oldest forms of quilting & embroidery from India, using recycled textiles to create beautiful heirlooms. The Kantha stitch would cover the entire cloth to provide strength over soft, layered recycled fabrics. Kanthas are said to be the repositories of memories of particular makers and givers. I used this theme to create this collection: My daughter and nieces are the beautiful fabric layers, and my mom is the stitch that has woven our lives together. With a new granddaughter, I hope to expand the collection to include her own custom color. The Kantha Collection closely relates to our craft of art – we take well loved pieces of furniture and give them new life.
