Review & Description

Our hand embroidered quilted bedspreads are an exquisite testament to Indiaƕs glorious textile arts. A must have indulgence; each quilt is first hand block printed and then sewn together with a single color cotton sheet using the basic running stitch. The quilting is done exclusively by hand and each quilt takes an artisan a week to complete. The embroidery follows the contours of the block printed pattern thereby enhancing and accentuating it. The quilts do not have insulating material sandwiched between the sheets and may be deemed as light to medium weight. All the hand embroidery makes necessary to dry clean the quilted bedspreads.

The king size bedspread is 108 inches wide and 90 inches long. Each bedspread is printed on preshrunk, superior grade, soft cotton and is exquisitely finished with hand embroidered crisscross edging.

Each piece is handcrafted using intricately hand carved wooden blocks and is an original work of art distinguished by the work of the artisan, the particular lot of dye, and even varying weather conditions. Tonal variations are inherent to the block printing process and enhance the individuality, character and uniqueness of each creation.

About Purple Moon: Evocative of a temple courtyard after the last of the worshippers have gone home. Moonbeams gently illuminate golden blossoms as they lie strewn in the dark, liquid purple night of the temple courtyard. The small repetitive floral motif used in the Purple Moon design is referred to as a Sanganeri print. It is characteristic of the famed prints sourced from Sanganer, a tiny village in Rajasthan seeped in generations of block printing mastery. Use Purple Moon to create an atmosphere of drama and mystery. Read more
