A book that will make you see and savour fabric in a whole new way.

From its origins as wrapping cloths made from scraps of fabric to its place in contemporary textile art, Bojagi—the traditional art of Korean patchwork—is a wonderfully versatile mode of expression that can transform a room or a wardrobe with light and colour. Written by a master teacher, Korean Patchwork Quilting takes you step-by-step through the art of assembling bits of fabric by means of invisible seams to create lovely contemporary pieces for your home and your life.

Projects in this book include:

• Hangings for walls and windows

• And more!

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. The gorgeous photos in this book will inspire quilters all around the world to create their own unique designs.

With detailed instructions and step-by-step tutorial-style photographs, these patterns will appeal to those just learning as well as those honing an existing skill set. Readers will learn not only a variety of effects and uses for different forms of bojagi, but also multiple ways of seaming and other techniques that will serve them in other projects.
