My Bojagi in place
I have bought these beautiful fabrics in Seoul over a few visits. I could never find anyone there to show me how Bojagi was made. I finally found the directions on Youtube and here it is all done for a few seasons now. But it never fails to bring joy to see it.
I have made the seams by hand the traditional way.
I have started a new project with these fabrics. But there are so many hours in a day.

Trees quilt
I have wanted to make this quilt since I saw it on an issue of the now out of business, Quiltmania magazine. Thanks to some amazing Kafee Fasset's fabrics from a sweet friend "collection", I was able to make the top. Now, ready to quilt. I am so happy!
The hand dyed fabrics for the trunks are also from a friend that used to have a business selling hand dyed fabrics.
I am so lucky to have some amazing friends.
The pattern name is "Painted Forest" by Scott Hansen of the Blue Nickel Studios.

Pick a Petal Quilt
The top is fresh out of my sewing machine. This is a snap shot of a real day in the studio.
The quilt top is not even ironed yet. I think I need a little break from it now.
I will iron it later and clean the huge amount of threads from the back.
It is a pet peeve of mine. The new fabrics are so loose woven that it creates a pile of threads in every cut edge. So not happy with the new industry standard.
