The Kheta embroidery is one of a kind quilting technique (the art of stitching layers of fabrics) that has survived the onslaught of time. Though it shares a similar origin with other recycled quilting techniques, like “Kantha” of Bengal and “Sujni” of Bihar, yet it has developed a unique and intricate characteristic of its own. In fact, Kheta is so intrinsically woven in their daily lives, that the Shershabadi women do it every day whenever they get time, in between their household chores and responsibilities. It is an art that is passed from one generation to another. Kheta is generally used as a blanket for newborn children and newly married couples. Old sarees are repurposed into quilts. The embroidery uses thread with bright colours like red, yellow and green. The geometric patterns therefore, stand out against the printed fabric of the saree.
