🧵🌸 LET'S TALK ABOUT Kantha Quilting with Ekta Kaul - KAREN’S QUILT CIRCLE

[@raquelfantoni2812]

I was privileged to see Ekta’s display at the Birmingham Festival of Quilts in 2023. It was in all honestly my favorite display at the event, I went back to it three times and was able to briefly meet Ekta to tell her I really loved her work. It’s so exciting to see her interview and learn more about the backstory of her beautiful work!

"I got to know my maternal grandmother through her embroidery" ... I love that ❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I liked that part too

[@maggiehallinan1771]

Great interview! I bought a Kantha quilt at my first QuiltCon (when I actually met you too, Karen Brown!) and I love it. Now after learning more from this episode I have a greater appreciation. Thanks Karen!

[@Angelicus-p5p]

Women have so much in common worldwide. Crafting for centuries, often for the same reasons. And recognizing how we treasure the work done by those who came before us and influenced our art. Thank you.

[@LakesideQuiltmakingArts]

And doing it all under the name of leaving a physical representation of our family legacy.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It’s so true. It’s all about connecting through textiles.

[@VanDeWitt-u4y]

Great interview with such a wonderful woman!!! Thanks Karen for this interview.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

That was a wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing!!!😊

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@juliemorrison4348]

Thank you Karen for a lovely interview with Ekta. I was doing a bit of research last week about Kawandi and Kantha embroidery. Both very interesting and different techniques to my usual quilting.👏♥️🇦🇺

[@patmartin8147]

Hi Karen. What an amazing visit. I live in Durban South Africa and there is a huge Indian community and I love their embroidered saris and garments. I will buy the eBook to start. I love textiles and I am the person who stares at fabric going up the escalator in Malls. I also love simple embroidery. I've done the traditional UK work. However, I am into simplicity. Thank you and Ekta. Take Care.

[@peggyramirez368]

[@sandraadams2677]

Loved the interview. It was very informative. We need to keep stories and traditions like this and pass them on to family and others.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I agree

[@delwyngraham4033]

Thanks again Karen. Your interviews are always great you have such a nice manner to bring your guest out so natural just talking to an old friend 😀

[@bettywood5812]

Loved this interview. Would love to see the textiles of India.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

They are very vibrant

[@bettywood5812]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts Interesting tidbit: Jinny Beyer lived in India for some time. This is where she started quilting with their beautiful fabrics. She was disappointed in the fabrics available here so she started designing her own.

[@sh-k2739]

Great talk. Informative and soothing

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

How does this differ from kawandi hand pieced and stitched?

The speach is to fast to understand

[@moonlightcrafter6299]

You can slow the speed of the video down. That may help you

@@moonlightcrafter6299click the gear and you can change it

[@amymabbott8738]

There is a setting on the top right-hand side of KZbin videos. It looks like a cog or wheel, and it allows you to speed up or slow down speech. I hope this helps.
