I was privileged to see Ekta’s display at the Birmingham Festival of Quilts in 2023. It was in all honestly my favorite display at the event, I went back to it three times and was able to briefly meet Ekta to tell her I really loved her work. It’s so exciting to see her interview and learn more about the backstory of her beautiful work!
Great interview! I bought a Kantha quilt at my first QuiltCon (when I actually met you too, Karen Brown!) and I love it. Now after learning more from this episode I have a greater appreciation. Thanks Karen!
Women have so much in common worldwide. Crafting for centuries, often for the same reasons. And recognizing how we treasure the work done by those who came before us and influenced our art. Thank you.
Thank you Karen for a lovely interview with Ekta. I was doing a bit of research last week about Kawandi and Kantha embroidery. Both very interesting and different techniques to my usual quilting.👏♥️🇦🇺
Hi Karen. What an amazing visit. I live in Durban South Africa and there is a huge Indian community and I love their embroidered saris and garments. I will buy the eBook to start. I love textiles and I am the person who stares at fabric going up the escalator in Malls. I also love simple embroidery. I've done the traditional UK work. However, I am into simplicity. Thank you and Ekta. Take Care.
Another amazing interview, Karen! Thank you so much for sharing textile history with us, it gives me a new appreciation for our work and another rabbit hole to go down ❤
Wow, that was a delightful, interesting interview. Thank you for continuing to introduce us to such talented, informative and creative people. Always enjoyable.
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts Interesting tidbit: Jinny Beyer lived in India for some time. This is where she started quilting with their beautiful fabrics. She was disappointed in the fabrics available here so she started designing her own.
There is a setting on the top right-hand side of RU-vid videos. It looks like a cog or wheel, and it allows you to speed up or slow down speech. I hope this helps.
