Happy Quilt Show News

Pleased to say my quilt “Z is For Zinnia, C is For Cosmos” has been juried into AQS Quiltweek in Dayton, Florida. This is the final traditional show to which I will be able to submit this quilt as the “made by date” will be too old for future shows. Now if I only had […]

Seoul, South Korea–Day 5

We began the day at the Gwanghwamun Gate, which is the main gate to the Gyeongbukgung Palace. (Note there are several palaces in Seoul). Luckily, we arrived just as the changing of the guard was taking place. The National Folk Museum is located nearby. Next to the entrance is a recreation of a traditional Korean […]

Seoul, South Korea–Day 4

Cultural and historical outings were sprinkled among the textile-oriented activities, one of the ways you really learn about a people and their country. This day took us to the Changdeokgung Palace constructed during King Taejong’s reign (1400-1418). There are many striking “gateways” to pass through as you tour the palace grounds. Here are just two […]

Seoul, South Korea–Bodacious Bogaji Exhibition

Bogaji is the name of the traditional Korean wrapping cloth, also known as pojagi (보자기). It became popular during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) but has changed over the years. The cloth itself holds a variety of uses, ranging from everyday domestic use as tablecloths, covering food and bedding, and wrapping precious objects even within a […]

Seoul, South Korea–Day 3

For our first full day together as a group, we did a walking tour around the area near the hotel. What do you know? There was a quilt show inside a large tea house. The show no doubt had a name, but everything was in Korean. The two quilters who were there to greet people […]

Seoul, South Korea–Random Things I Saw and Learned

One end of the Insadong neighborhood is marked by The Artist’s Brush. Notice the “stroke of paint” in the square, as if made by a giant hand. Not sure what to make of the Korean culture or sense of humor given the theme of this nearby restaurant. No, I didn’t try it! One couple who […]

Seoul, South Korea–Day Two

I got up the morning after I arrived and decided to investigate the areas beyond the Insadong neighborhood. When I reached a six-lane thoroughfare and turned left, I was blown away by by the sight greeting me. Across the street was the entrance to the Jogyesa Temple, the primary Buddhist temple in Korea, whose grounds […]

Seoul, South Korea–Day One

I returned from a two-week trip to Seoul last week with a cold. Fortunately, I came down with it the last day. Here are some highlights of the textile tour taken with ten other people, starting with day one. I’ve never been to Asia before, so I was really excited to go and see what […]
