The piece is around 15in by 15in and I used the valdani thread cotton 12 to do the kantha stitching. I was trying to capture the shadows and waves created by the stitching.
And a close up.

Slow Stitching - Kantha inspired
I have been busy doing paper and stitch and now cloth and stitch. I am inspired by a vintage kantha purse I purchased several years ago. I have dyed my own cloth a flour sack cloth for the diamond shape and kona cotton for the back - all in the same dye lot.
