Take a Stitch Tuesday

Yes! The TAST stitch this week is Running Stitch! This is my kind of stitching! Nice and easy!

This piece I call "Running back and Forth". It's running stitch on cotton. I dyed the fabric and then I printed and painted it. For the printing I used wooden blocks from India. I guess this piece has an indian theme. I've been looking at
Kantha stitching lately and that really inspired me. The size is 17 x 22 cm

I love this combination and it inspired me to look through my stash to work on a piece I had printed.
The Kantha link is great. I had seen it before and loved it - but had no idea what it was called or its story. Thank you.
