Hi Friends, I am back with my love for  Kantha again.  I am kind of obsessed with Kantha  right now .  I have posted about upholstered kantha chairs , Kantha Beddings  ,  it’s time to share beautiful Kantha Blankets from Hand and cloth . Hand and Cloth is a non-profit organisation provides stable source of income to Bangladeshi women who are survivors of trafficking . The organisation is strongly committed to work for uplifting the living conditions of these women in the distress.

Based in Chicago, Hand and Cloth believes “ blankets handmade by women | Women handmade by God “ . Their two sided blankets are to die for! So,many gorgeous blankets made with recycled saris , Each is one of a kind; no two are exactly alike. , I am loving the colors and and the way different patterns blending in so aesthetically .I love all of them and hope you love it too .

Love for Indian Handmade Textiles

Image source : www.thedesignfiles.net
I recently came across mind blowing and superb work of Sally Campbell from Australia. She set up her business in 2005 . Deeply passionate about her work and absolutely enthused by the Indian traditional textile art and craft by Women in Rajasthan , village weavers in Bengal, and intricate hand embroiderers in Lucknow.
The intensity of her passion for Indian Textiles is so obvious that her entire range of home textiles look so arty and creativity is limitless.It is not only her creativity but her purpose of helping the community she works with in her own way is exemplary. As said by her in one of her interviews: "Creating a new career for myself and doing my bit in helping to keep Eco friendly traditional crafts alive, hoping to give more employment and education to the families I work with, she is most proud of".I truly admire her determination for her work!!!!

I strongly recommend you to check out her astonishing work at :
