Learn out to make a kantha quilt as we explore this brilliant technique for upcycling old linens and scraps into a beautiful quilt. Decorated and fastened with traditional kantha embroidery stitches, this kantha quilt uses old bedsheets rather than wadding for its layers, to make it even more environmentally friendly. We're using a Slimline floor lamp from the Daylight Company to help improve visibility and definition of the small stitches on the busy prints.
