After about two weeks I am again with a project of needlework to this community. I was busy with couple of activities as in this situation I have to conduct some courses to my textile engineering students in online basis. So, I had some busy schedule so I couldn't post here. And I had no ongoing project at my hand related needle as well.
Today I am going to share another Nakshi (designed) quilt. In my previous couple of posts, I have explained about the tradition and culture of making designed quilt in the rural areas of Bangladesh. This is a huge cottage industry I must say. And most of them are not coming out from the boundary because they are using it for themselves. But whatever some contribution we are just getting from the rural women in the form of Cottage and design decoration creation.
This quilt has been made by my sister for my newborn daughter and us as well. It has been made at the big size so that it can be used by my newborn daughter and all some other family members. So, in the quilt you can see several flowers and Designs has been Incorporated. And which has done by needle and thread. It has taken more than a month for my sister to do all the things. 4 layers of clothes has been used here. And she guaranteed that this quilt will survive at least 25 years. The legibility of quilt is depending on the quality of the fabric and how dense the thread is used for stitching. Whole work is a hand-made stitch Nothing from the machine.
Previously I have discussed that which is made by hand it is obviously very much lucrative compared with those which has made by machine. That's why although it is taking some time but for the better output obviously there using needle with your hand. And most importantly most of the rural women don't have sewing machine at their effort.
Finally, I want to conclude about the beauty of this quilt. Without this design the quilt could have been made with some straight swing. But as there are some designs in the quilled, I think it will feel better for the users all the time. And it can be easily offered to the guest who will be fascinated. What's the process of making this quilt and its explanation I have discussed in my previous couple of posts into this platform and those links has been provided here below to this link. I am not going to the details. But it's obviously a awesome work. And I am thankful to my sister for doing such a good work and gift me this work. And my wife is also very happy. So, she also loves to use needles for some quilt making. And in that way, we are really happy by getting such a good gift from my sister and she is doing a lot of work and gifting us many times.
I am very happy to share this quilt to this community here. I hope you will enjoy and love this work
Be creative and make some needle works.
