“This isn’t a “how-to” book; rather it’s my invitation for you to journey with me into the heart of Kantha. Within these pages, I’ve stitched together strands that bring Kantha to life: its rich history, the techniques at its core, and ways of reimagining this tradition in our times. You’ll find interviews with contemporary makers and artists, insights from my own journey, and reflections on how creative stitching can occupy so many spheres at once—expressive, mindful, sustainable.”
