Quiltmaking, patchwork & applique

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

Table runners and table cloths

Bags and pouches

Zakka accessories

Quirky Jewellrey

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-steptutorial-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. Extremely detailed diagrams are included for each project, and measurements are provided in both metric and imperial. The level of detail included is exceptional, and readers willing to dive into that detail will appreciate learning from an expert artisan.' ― Booklist
