this is a more traditional form of kantha quilting using running stitch for the figures ,I have used very simple shapes,hearts and circles because this is a sample to simply explain the technique. I have to say I love kantha and I really enjoyed doing this,I used a pure wool wadding which, as you know is stitching heaven and an actual kantha thread ,-it gave a nice contour, thicker than quilting thread and finer than no.12 valdani but it feels nice and firm definitely use this again I will post everyone Else's results when I return tomorrow night.
Oooh! This looks a lovely soothing way to sew and now I know what sort of threads to bring tonight.
