    * 29 Heidi F. Jie HREADS STORIES IN THE THREADS: INTERVENTION AND T REINTERPRETATION IN KANTHA-MAKING The art of mending is an ancient craft. From clothing to pottery, what was worn and damaged was repaired to be used again. The repurposing of textiles has long been appreciated as an art form. Quilting, or the sewing together of layers of fabric by stitching through those layers to produce a thicker fabric, has been practiced in many regions around the world, from Europe and Asia to the Americas and Africa, and has taken on many forms and techniques. Quilting refers to the activity as well as the stitching technique used to work through the layers, and there are similarities and variances in both of these across traditions and cultures. For the purposes of this essay, the term ‘craft’ will refer to the mastery, skill and effort involved in making a thing by hand, in this case, a textile work such as a kantha. Because these works are an expression of that skill, requiring the use of imagination and creativity, they are a form of art.1 TORIES IN THE S The word ‘kantha’ speaks not only of a textile used for bedding and the name of the stitch; it has come to refer to any object using the stitch as part of its design. It can be found on a variety objects from saris to home furnishings today. Very simple and versatile, it lends itself easily to many design possibilities and materials. The only criterion for the perfect kantha stitch is that it is even in size and spacing, an exacting task.
