Fancied another go at Kantha styled stitching and decided to do a small sampler which you can see from above picture I have drawn a grid on top layer of 3, lightweight muslin layers tacked together before stitching in a variety of patterns.
I enjoyed this as it was strangely relaxing to sew across. turn. sew back. turn. return the sewing. and see the pattern form!
After I finish the final bit of stitching I shall wash out the blue marker pen and see how it looks!
I like the quilted effect of using three layers, its more substantial! and I LOVE the nice hand-dyed embroidery cotton too! lovely to stitch with!! I've nearly used the whole skein but I don't mind, thats what I bought it for, afterall, to USE!
