Mother’s Day has been a tradition in the U.S. for more than a century, since its informal inception in 1907 when an American woman held a ceremony for her mother in May of that year. Soon after that, many American families were celebrating the holiday, typically during the month of May. In 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson officially declared it a national holiday and it was to fall on the second Sunday of May every year. Although Mother’s Day originated in the U.S., today it is celebrated all over the world at different times of the year.

Batik is a method of decorating cloth through dye resistance. In this method, designs are created by preventing specific parts of a fabric from being exposed to dye.

The art of decorating cloth in this way, using wax and dye, has been practiced for centuries.

The word “kantha” in Bengali means an embroidered pattern traditionally used in adorning quilts. Kantha is a style of embroidery that originates from Bolpur in the Birbhum district of West Bengal, India. It is usually a simple running stitch done with various colored thread on solid colored fabric. This running stitch was typically used in the embroidery, thus giving it the name ‘kantha stitch’. Scarves with kantha embroidery are typically made using tussar silk or cotton.
