Description
Collaboration with Sujani Mahila Jeevan and our Waste not, Want not Quilts.
Traditionally Sujani embroidery is made on re-cycled cloth from old saris, our friends from Bihar now often use new fabrics and concentrate more on the story in each piece. Sujani embroidery work has meant money in the home for girl’s education, healthcare and dreams of one day have a fridge or car., you will find some pieces with stories of these dreams, other show you village life or creation stories.
Waste Not, Want not Quilts- a tradition from the past, giving work to women and a new life to cloth leftovers in the present to create heirlooms to take into your future.
All quilts are based on khadi and hand weaves. Some have plain backs, some really follow the idea of using up left overs and have printed backs.
Tops are all hand work, we have a file of ideas, pack a bag of colours and hand it over to our Stitching Ladies and let them work with it.
Each quilt is
– same, same idea but individual
– labelled with the name of the maker
– we will start a quilt diary on the site….. one day 😘
If you would like to request a bespoke quilt contact us…. understand it will be same, same but different and will take time, think 2 to 3 months.
