The bloggers Quilt festival







I just discovered the Bloggers quilt festival at Amy's Creative Side and thought I would join in... I have posted my Bojagi (Quilted Korean wrapping cloth) before but I thought I would post it again for the festival and add my most recent piece as well.

This Bojagi wrapping cloth was a an exciting piece because it was my introduction to quilting and the beginning of what has become an obsession (a healthy one I like to think).
Anyway I was asked to be a part of an exhibit on Korean wrapping cloths by my friend Chunghie Lee . She is an amazing Bojagi artist and a professor at Rhode Island School of Design. The exhibit was at the AQS show in Paducha two years ago. I was astounded by the work I say there and excited to be a little part of it.






So that was it, I was hooked....
Here I am two years later and several rewarding quilt experiences richer. Below is one of the most recent hand stitched, appliqued and embroidered pieces I have completed.
