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.

Table Runner

The designing floor is active today. A new table runner made out of a charming package from a friend's "collection". To be continued...

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.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood.

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.

This is my version of the Sew Along Quilt that "The Fat Quater Shop" so generously shared for free. I finally quilted my top into a quilt that was donated to the Quilt Guild of The Greater Houston for the Comforters Program that, you guessed it, donates quilts as a comfort to someone. The link provided here is working at the time of this publication.

On Ringo Lake donation quilt

I finally finished my version of the quilt "On Ringo Lake" that was a mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter from the Quiltville fame for the year 2017. I made a little over half the amount of the blocks required, so my quilt is a square 60 something inches one; and not the 70" by 90" quilt as instructed by Bonnie. This photo is also from a show and tell from the meeting at the Quilt Guild of Greater Houston, where it was donated to the Comforters Program. This program donates quilts around the Houston community to deserving persons.
