The current issue of Quiltmania magazine has a great article on Pojagi (or Bojagi), an old textile art from Korea. And I've become obsessed! I had an hour today to make this little bit, with many thanks to Victoria's tutorial at thesillyboodilly. Hers are absolutely stunning. I used some old shirts--one with tucks--and a few shot cottons. It's just a start. We'll see where it goes.
Aren't these beautiful?

They remind me of stained glass, but in fabric. Beautiful.
Love it!
These days we see some pretty ones at local quilt shows. I love the subtle natural colors as well.
Yes! I love it, too. Going directly to V's tutorial. This is a must-make.
Gorgeous! I love the one on the right in the magazine!
Splendid!!! I had seen Victoria's drooled and now I am drooling yet again. And with the old shirts and shot cottons. Brilliant. Yummy. Can't wait to see more.
oh, that darn Quiltmania strikes again - always beautiful stuff.
p.s. have a book recommendation for you: Quilting, Patchwork and Applique: A World Guide by Caroline Crabtree. It has all sorts of great stuff (inc Pojagi) and right now there are fab prices on it used. I think it's a great price for the new one Amazon is selling
Beautiful! I've been itching to do more and I am so happy to see your wonderful piece here! I'll be sure to check out the Pojagi article in Quiltmania. Thanks for sharing!
The article is awesome. Yours is fab. Thank you for sharing your work and the link.
Oh yes, you did a beautiful job. Machine or by hand? Victoria's blog is like a little vacation every visit :0).
She continually inspires me.
Happy sewing
Great colours. Eagerly awaiting next installment.
I like pojagi, but how do you preserve the effect if you add batting and backing? Your little piece is beautiful and they look great held up to a window. Are the pictures in the book pojagi too? Bonnie
