Pojagi!


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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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
