Khamma Ghani Handcrafted Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What does the Handcrafted cover look like?

It is a light, cream-based cover. Squares of pink, teal and green florals are joined with visible white stitching, so the patchwork grid shows clearly. It sits softly on light sofas and bedding rather than acting as a dark, dramatic accent, and a few small sequins add only a hint of sparkle.

Is the white stitching between the squares part of the design?

Yes. The white stitching joins the patches and outlines each square, and it is meant to be seen. It is what gives this cover its neat, almost tiled look, and it sits alongside the Kantha, Kambadiya patchwork and Banjara work that make up the handwork on the piece.

Who makes these covers?

They are sourced directly from Keshav, an embroidery cooperative based in Barmer in western Rajasthan. The cover brings together Kantha stitching, Kambadiya patchwork and Banjara embroidery on cotton, all done by hand by the artisans who work with the cooperative.

I can see a slightly uneven stitch. Is that a defect?

No. Each cover is made by hand, so small irregularities in stitch length, patch alignment or edges are a natural result of the process. They are signs of human hands at work rather than flaws, and they are the reason no two covers turn out quite the same.

Will the colours run when I wash it?

The patches are cut from different fabrics, so we would suggest washing it separately in cold water for the first few washes, as some dyes may release a little colour. Use a mild detergent, avoid long soaking and dry it in shade to keep the florals looking fresh.

How will it look in my room?

Its cream base suits white, beige or pastel sofas and light bedspreads, where it adds pattern without darkening the space. Pair it with plain cotton or linen cushions in teal or blush to pick up the colours in the florals, and keep the rest of the arrangement simple so the patchwork leads.
