A book that will make you see fabric in a whole new way! From its
origins as wrapping cloths made from scraps of fabric to its place
in contemporary textile art shows, Bojagi--the traditional art of
Korean patchwork quilting--is a wonderfully versatile mode of
expression that can transform a room or a wardrobe. Written by
master instructor Choi Yangsook, Korean Patchwork Quilting teaches
you step-by-step techniques through the art of assembling bits of
lightweight fabric, by means of invisible seams, to create
contemporary pieces for your home and life. The 37 projects in this
book include: Hangings for walls and windows Exquisite table
runners and table cloths Delicate bags and pouches Zakka
("miscellaneous") accessories Quirky jewelry pieces And more! This
Korean folk craft has played an important role in Korean culture
for centuries. The distinct "window pane" appearance of a Bojagi
quilt often resembles a modern abstract painting or stained glass
window, but can also be made of single-color fabric for an elegant
look. Lessons, diagrams and templates, along with a few simple
knotting and embroidery techniques, present a wide range of
projects so that novices can try their hand and more experienced
quilters can enjoy a satisfying challenge.
Transform into a skilled free-motion quilting expert with a
month-long series of daily design prompts. Once you've completed
your daily doodle challenges, show off your skills with a sampler
quilt that features all of your doodle challenges.
