What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 

QuiltCon Together, 2021, wasn't awful and it wasn't fabulous.  While the social component was missing, the content was awfully good.  And it's an absolute luxury to listen to a lecture/workshop at your own time and own pace while doing something purposeful with your hands!

It was a lot of screen time, and most of it was so well done.  This picture oh Heidi Parkes hows how most of the presentations were done - little dot on the screen with the presenter and big screen for demos and handouts.

Bojagi (något beskuren) sydd av Eunkyeong Choi

Detalj av bojagi

I söndags var jag på en workshop på Östasiatiska museet. Eunkyeong Choi från Korea visade hur man syr bojagi, Korean Patchwork. Hon berättade att ursprungligen sydde man en bojagi för att slå in och bära en present eftersom man inte hade någon väska, men fortfarande slår man in fina gåvor i en bojagi.
