Product Description
Bedspread Coverlet with applique embroidery in country rustic style is a decorative work in which one piece of cloth is sewn or fixed onto another, or the activity of decorating a cloth using glass pieces, metals, wood or metal wires. The art of applique on bedspreads and coverlets is practiced in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab and Orissa in India giving rise to some of the most beautiful Indian fabric art. This beautiful bedspread craft is practiced on very attractive red, purple, black, yellow, green and white fabric. The artisan first prepares the base material in the shape of square, rectangle, circle or oval which forms the background for the pieces of art. Applique motifs in contrasting colors are then cut in the shape of animals, birds, flowers, leaves, celestial bodies and geometric shapes. These motifs are now stitched onto the base cloth in aesthetic arrangements. Skilled persons of the family go for beautiful intricate designs while the less experienced take up the simple works like stitching the borders and making the base clothes. The actual grace of applique on bedspreads coverlets lies in its intricate stitches namely, bakhia, guntha, turpa, chikan and other very delicate and esoteric embroidery techniques. Now a days, small mirrors and bright metal pieces are used to enhance its beauty. After attaching the applique patches to the base cloth, the borders are then stitched. Another variety of Rajasthan applique work is known as gota work, which is created by sewing edges of zari ribbon onto fabric, to create elaborate patterns. It is commonly used for making costumes for women. Khandela in Shekhawati is best known for producing these items.

Cotton Bedspread Block Print Vegetable Dyes India Home Interior Decorating Size Twin (bbscov251)
Made in handloom woven cotton fabric, bed spreads from Jaipur are eye catching. Beautiful traditional Indian motifs are hand block printed by artisans of Jaipur. There is also some thread embroidery around each motif.These natural block printed bed spreads have some kind of air conditioning effort. They make you feel cool in summers and warm in winters.
