...the Quilts!!

a sprinkle of vibrant colours in double shaded 'Khann' fabric,traditionally used as blouse pieces and offerings to the Goddess in Maharashtra... patched together in harmony..I have always been fascinated by the array of colours of this chiefly handspun cloth, now unfortunately faced with extinction as more and more traditional crafts die out in the contest with 'progress'.

 So,

Presenting the Rawworks Quilts.. been thinking up a nice name for them and havent found anything warm & comfortable & colorful.. suggestions are welcome!

Saibai and Sakubai

This series finds its roots in the hand woven fabric (traditionally called Khañ) from the state of Maharashtra.
Traditionally used for sari blouses and as offerings to the goddess, it has been slowly losing ground to fabrics from the power-looms.
