KANTHA COVERED TABLETOP REINDEER

Brighten up your holiday décor with these patchwork kantha covered reindeer. Surely to make a bold statement, this duo makes the perfect tabletop accent.

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.
