"HAPPY HOLIDAY" KANTHA PILLOW

Handmade in India using recycled kantha fabric, our colorful Happy Holidays pillow is guaranteed to be a comforting addition to your home this holiday season.

"Kantha" refers to both the style of running stitch, as well as the finished cloth. It was a craft that was practiced by women of all rural classes, "the rich landlord’s wife making her own elaborate embroidered quilt in her leisure time and the tenant farmer’s wife making her own thrifty coverlet, equal in beauty and skill." It was never commissioned by kings, nor ordered by landed gentry, but passed down in learning and dowry from mother to daughter.
