It has been a busy year! I traveled to teach classes and workshops, went to Korea to attend the Korea Bojagi Forum, and took a trip to Europe. Next year I have a new project to announce. I am going to take a small group of textile enthusiasts to Korea! October 16-26, 2017</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
We will visit museums, galleries, temples and take workshops to learn Korean textile art.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
Here's my website about this trip and feel free to browse this.</div>

I was invited to the 7th Irvine Korean Cultural Festival and flew down to SoCal. I knew that TSA would open my luggage because of my tools but I even packed my iron in the case :) 2 pairs of scissors, 5 of stick magnets, assortment of rulers ( 4" square to 18" long one), 150 sewing needles and cut fabrics.... </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
When I arrived at Irvine civic center the day before the event, crews were busy setting up stage and speakers. </div>

There were many other activities and demonstrations and the city hall was packed with people all day long. I saw some visitors during the day. Leon who is costume designer in MLU visited and we talked about bojagi and hanbok. Livia and her husband ( they both took 3 workshops at LACMA 2 years ago) came to the festival and Livia stayed all afternoon to help my table. thank you, Livia! And my old friend, Sue and Bill surprised me all the way from Boston! Their son, Charles and my Jenn are frinds since first grade. The family moved several times and now they are in Boston. They came to LA to visit Charles in UCLA. And Sue decided to drive an hour to surprise me. Yep! you succeed to your mission and I was so happy to see you, Sue! And Kyungsu unni came to visit and spend time with me. Her husband and my husband went to the same elementary school and they live in Irvine. Thank you to everybody who came to visit me! I really appreciate it!</div>

Where did my April went? May is around the corner.... I didn't just being lazy in April but time was faster than I moved around. I went to Mt. Tam quilt guild in Marin county for Bojagi talk and met wonderful people there. I also went to EBMQ ( East Bay Modern Quilters, Stitch Modern) to share bojagi. Their wonderful quilts are showing at the Piedmont Center for Art right now. If you haven't seen their annual quilt show yet, you have time until May 8! Don't miss this! I enjoyed every single works there. <a href="https://eastbaymodernquilters.com/" target="_self">https://eastbaymodernquilters.com/</a></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I met this wonderful quilter at the talk and inspired. Here's Sujata Shar's blog page. <a href="http://therootconnection.blogspot.com/" target="_self">http://therootconnection.blogspot.com/</a></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
It was very interesting to see how someone's artworks reflects the culture and tradition. From my bojagi and from Sujata's quilts!</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Everyday is happy day because I learn about something new that I never imagined. I am looking forward to my happy May!</div>

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">I got some interesting fabrics with resist marks and a scarf. </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">Last year when I took a shibori workshop from Ana Lisa Hedstrom, she taught how to use machine stitches to make a resist pattern. So I did my homework before I left home. I machine stitched on silk+wool blend scarf. And toss it into a boiling black tea. Then I stitched little more to keep that tea color. </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">And I put this into the indigo vat.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">I packed and checked my list twice and drove to Mendocino on Friday morning. It took me good 4 hours to get there. </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Anticipation worked like strong coffee :) </span><br />

I was staying in the RAC's housing and enjoyed my surroundings.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The textile studio was well equipped (even though I didn't need all those wonderful equipments for fabric dye....) and well lit with natural light.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I unpacked my stuff to prepare 2 days of fun workshop.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I met very artistic group of people and we enjoyed each other's company and I shared my passion about Bojagi.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
At the end of the day, I walked down to the place that I can see sunset. It was another grateful moment. I love what I do and that leads me to another path always. Next, where should I go and who will I meet?</div>

My friend Carlene came all the way from Hawaii a few days prior to the event and we started our journey together on Sunday morning. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">This time, I was taking class about bojagi from well know art quilter/ teacher, Jeannette DeNicolis Meyer. Her workshop was "Sheer Play: Painting, Designing and Constructing with Translucent Fabric". The most interesting thing for me was that she is going to use Bojagi techniques! I know how to do bojagi technique but curiosity was leading me to this wonderful teacher and I am so glad I signed up her class and get to know her! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Fabric painting, fusing and designing with my fellow fabric artist classmates were FUN! I enjoyed every moments in the class room and had a taste of my goal-getting free from my own limits and set rules. Making bojagi with non-Korean traditional materials was my first attempt to getting out of the box. Second attempt was making irregular shaped bojagi. And Jeannete's class made me feel that I took another step to a freedom. Finally! </span><br />

Another thing that I enjoyed a lot was making friends. Camaraderie, curiosity and creativity made us have strong bond and I am so happy and grateful. You only see a few friends here but I made more :)</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
When I have a gut to share my 6 days of creative design attempt, I will post pictures of them. Someday~</div>

Oh, I am so spoiled! I lived without making meals for almost a week and now it's time to go back to the reality..... What's for dinner, honey?</div>

It is nice that we can celebrate New Year twice a year! I went to the Oakland Museum of California to participate in LNY celebration. Many people call this Chinese New Year but other countries are celebrating it, too. Koreans call the Lunar New Year's day Seollal. Making some special foods and give a respect to ancestors and wish for happiness, prosperity and good health of their family and friends. In Korea, many people visit their parents or grandparent to celebrate the holiday together. This causes big traffic jam in major highways in Korea every year. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
This year at the Oakland Museum, I met museum visitors by leading "community bojagi" activity. I cut Obangseak (오방색), the five cardinal colors silk fabrics. Yellow, Blue, White, Red, Black of 5 colors represent 5 cardinal directions. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Yellow-Center</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Blue-East</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
White-West</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Red-South</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Black-North</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
At the end of the day I got many pieces from many people and ready to make it into a big bojagi. Everybody put their effort, time and good wishes into this project and I am excited to share this powerful and meaningful bojagi soon!</div>

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The first time I visited the Asian Art Museum, it was in Golden Gate Park. Now it is located in the heart of the city, across from the San Francisco city hall. <span style="line-height: 1.5;">During this golden anniversary year the Asian Art Museum has planned many celebration events. Golden Gala is one of the events and I was honored to be invited to participate in. I was asked to donate one of my bojagi work to an auction to benefit the museum's Education Department. I am happy that I can be a part of this good cause.</span></div>

Yes, she came to my class this week all the way from Indiana. She found me online and wanted to learn about bojagi. Luckily she has a plan to travel to the Bay Area. She came to my Tuesday morning class with her friend Cathy. Here's what Linda finished in my class! She even started her initials in Korean (ㄹㅇ!) at the corner of her first ever bojagi coaster. Thank you, Linda for coming! Next time when you visit the Bay Area, we will do Mosi ( Ramie) Jogakbo you liked a lot!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">I am very fortunate to live near the Pacific ocean. One of my favorite drive courses is driving up to Mendocino county along the Hwy 1 north. You can see the Pacific coast ( I would say West coast) on your side and it has a breathtaking scenic view. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Mendocino is a small ocean front town with its beautiful botanic garden, art center, galleries and places to eat good California foods. Thinking about staying at the Victorian style B&Bs and walking along the Mendocino Headland trail makes me feel so relaxing. I would love to drive a few hours to get this serene and relaxing time. Last summer, my coffee and tea dyed bojagi was invited to the 'Natural Dye Showcase' juried by Yoshiko Wada. The exhibit was at the Mendocino Art Center and I was honored to be a part of it.</span><br />

I took a road trip to Utah and Arizona last week. Zion canyon, Antelope canyon, Monument Valley, Sedona and Scottsdale were places I went to. At the Zion canyon, I took a short trail in the rain and it cleared my busy mind. Rain made the morning very mystic and peaceful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TANbRKJTxR8/VoXwVgod1RI/AAAAAAAACCo/6P6yR2pF2n8/s1600/Zion%2Bcanyon%2Bsm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TANbRKJTxR8/VoXwVgod1RI/AAAAAAAACCo/6P6yR2pF2n8/s320/Zion%2Bcanyon%2Bsm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Antelope canyon was the one that I wanted to see the most during this trip and I enjoyed a lot. I took a guided tour and our Navajo descent guide herded the group down to very steep stairs. After 10-15 steps down I was surrounded by beautiful spiral rock arches. Every corner was beautiful and I was busy taking pictures. Somehow camera lens was taking more colors from the scene and made very dramatic pictures. </div>

After this Mother Nature's creation, we drove a few more hours to see another place called Monument Valley. Another place runs by navajo tribe people, We drove around the Monument Valley and stayed right next to it. The hotel we stayed has a magnificent view of the valley. </div>

It was windy, cold and sometimes snow was falling but again, it was very peaceful. My hotel room has several artworks and a few of them caught my eyes. Navajo dye chart and a rug they made.</div>

The next morning I went to the gift shop and found Navajo rugs. I could only afford very small one but I am happy to bring it with me to my home. It's in my living room with lots of memories and I appreciate Navajo woman's craftsmanship every time I pass that room.</div>

The last day I went to Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West in Scottsdale. My travel buddy (my husband) is very fond of Fran Lloyd Wright's style. We took a tour in Chicago (Robie house), Pittsburgh (Falling water) before and this Taliesin West in Scottsdale was a main reason that we pack and drove over 2200 miles in one week. As always my husband found his favorite room in the house we took a tour and it was nice to see him happy.</div>

First, I bought books and maps of Italy. Reading a book about the place you are going to go is exciting because while you are reading it, you can imagine and dream about the place in your mind. When you actually arrive and see those places and experience new things, anticipation turns into excitement. I took a trip to Italy as a family vacation a few weeks ago. When we were planning this trip, all 3 of us agreed to go to Italy out of many other European countries and we all agreed again this was a right decision after we came back home. I loved Italy!</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Espresso was the first thing that I fell in love with. Taking a tiny cup of (less than 2 oz) concentrated dark liquid with crema on top became my daily ritual throughout my Italy stay. I practiced "Un cafe per favore!" but never recited the whole sentence when I ordered my daily espresso. I am not that shy but speaking another language with foreign accent is intimidating enough (Yes, I vividly remember how I felt when I first came to this country 22 years ago :) I just said "Un cafe please...." Next time when I go back to Italy, I will use a whole sentence!</div>

Italian breakfast was very simple. un cafe e cornetto alla marmellata! A cup of espresso or cappuccino and a breakfast pastry with jam. You could be served at the table but many people eat and drink at the counter or bar. There no time needed to be adjust to this custom :)</div>

It has been a while since you were here but I still miss you sometimes. It was very short this time but please plan to stay longer next time! We have many things to do if we had a bit more time. First, we can make a trip to the Quilt museum in San Jose. <a href="http://www.sjquiltmuseum.org/exhibitions.html" target="_self">http://www.sjquiltmuseum.org/exhibitions.html</a></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
By the way, how do you like your new clear frames from the Muji store? That store has lots of simple but interesting things. I am looking forward to wear my new scarf from that store in Italy :) Second, we can make a trip to the Korean Market in Santa Clara and eat Korean BBQ for lunch. We also can visit Asian Art museum, De Young and Legion of Honor in SF. Asian Art Museum shows old antique bojagi all the time and I'd love to see them with you. </div>

Can we try Indigo dyeing next time when you are here? I wish I can go to Sisters, Oregon in September to take your workshops but I will have to wait until your next visit to my house..... <a href="http://www.stitchinpost.com/quilt-class-workshop-retreat/quilting-retreats-workshops.html" target="_self">http://www.stitchinpost.com/quilt-class-workshop-retreat/quilting-retreats-workshops.html</a></div>

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Last 2 weeks of busy days were full of excitement! One of the biggest things was EBHQ workshops and a lecture. <span style="line-height: 1.5;">I met Ellen from SDA small group meeting a few years ago and she suggested to teach at her guild, EBHQ. And she invited me for this time.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
지난 2주간 몹시 바빴습니다. 그중 젤 큰일하나는 EBHQ 워크샵과 보자기 강의였지요. 몇년전 어느 작은 모임에서 Ellen을 만나고 그 인연이 이렇게 가르치는 기회가 되어 돌아왔답니다.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9SteegQS0p0/VUkSXXWGsdI/AAAAAAAAByQ/PIV8_3ezZ3Y/s1600/EBHQ%2Bworkshop%2Btable.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9SteegQS0p0/VUkSXXWGsdI/AAAAAAAAByQ/PIV8_3ezZ3Y/s320/EBHQ%2Bworkshop%2Btable.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I was excited but at the same time worried a bit. Because EBHQ is well known as their quilt shows and many talented members.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
On Saturday early morning, I drove to Albany and 3 wonderful ladies greeted me. Marty was a workshop chair person who took care of me so well!</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Arleen and Barbara helped moving all the chairs and arrange the workshop room so we can start on time.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Mosi, ramie jogakbo was a bit complicated to learn ( but only at the beginning part) but everybody was very patient and eager to learn this new technique.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
At lunch time, we sat around the big tables and talk about our common interests.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Since I was teaching this workshop as a hand sewing/ stitching class, I made many people tired at the end of the day. However I don't doubt that people will have a difficult time to finish the project. These ladies are group of experienced and talented quilters anyway!</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
EBHQ에서 가르칠 수 있게된 일은 신나지만 실력있는 퀼터들로 알려진 이그룹을 가르치려니 좀 긴장이 되는 건 사실이었답니다. 토요일 아침일찍 짐을 싸서 워크샵 장소로 갔지요. Marty와 Arleen 그리고 Barbara가 저를 맞아 워크샵 준비를 도와주네요. 모시조각보를 가르치면서 시접의 크기와 방향을 따지면서 진지한 하루를 보냈답니다. 점심시간에는 큰 테이블에 둘러앉아 공통관심사를 나누면서 즐겁게 보냈지요. 손바느질을 하다보니 생각보다 빨리 피로가 몰려오는지 다들 파김치가 되어버렸답니다. 하지만 프로젝트를 완성시키는데는 아무 문제 없을겁니다. 다들 경험많은 노련한 퀼터들이거든요.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S1cOOCCWo3s/VUkSXxq-kDI/AAAAAAAAByU/PrXjWlCcpn4/s1600/Marty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S1cOOCCWo3s/VUkSXxq-kDI/AAAAAAAAByU/PrXjWlCcpn4/s320/Marty.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
After take a break on Sunday, I drove again to the workshop location. This time Marty and Jean helped setting up. The project that I taught on Monday was Sukgosa (Korean silk) jogakbo. Some people took Mosi Jogakbo workshop and some came for this project only. I reunited with Mary and Roberta (sisters who are well known as quilt teachers and authors) and Stacy. They took my mosi jogakbo class at PIQF 2013. This time they all encountered a new material, Sukgosa and stitched many colorful silk pieces together. Presence of Mary and Roberta gave a mixed feeling. Excitement, nervousness and comfort all at the same time :)</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
월요일 아침 다시 차를 몰고 워크샵 장소로 달려갔지요. Marty와 Jean이 저를 맞아주네요. 이번엔 숙고사 조각보입니다. 토요일에 이어 다시 돌아온 사람들도 있고 새로운 얼굴들도 보였습니다. Mary와 Roberta 자매와 Stacy를 여기서 다시 만났습니다. 2013년에 PIQF퀼트쇼 클래스에 와서 모시 조각보를 배웠던 이들입니다. 그중 <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Mary와 Roberta 자매는 퀼트계에 아주 잘 알려진 선생님이면서 퀼트책을 여러권 써낸 작가들입니다. 그들 자매를 가르치는 건 여러가지 느낌을 한꺼번에 주지요. 흥분되고 긴장되게 만들지만 제뒤를 든든히 받쳐주는 사랍들입니다.</span></div>

In between the workshop and a evening EBHQ meeting, I had nice dinner with Ellen who invited me. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
After strolling on Solano avenue, I was ready for my bojagi lecture. I thought I was..... But when I went into the church that has EBHQ's monthly meeting, I saw many people and got nervous! But many familiar faces greeted me as I am their old friends. I've been known most of them for just 2-3 days. When the lights were off, it was my turn to tell them a story about Bojagi and I survived. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
What a weekend! I had so much fun sharing bojagi with many people and met wonderful people. Now my wish list gets longer (wish for happiness of the people that I met through bojagi) and my story about bojagi will get longer and longer.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
워크샵을 마무리하고 엘렌과 잠시 이른저녁을 같이하며 긴장과 피로를 풀었지요. 솔라노 거리를 거닐면서 편안한 마음을 다시 찾은 저는 EBHQ월례미팅이 열리는 교회로 향했습니다. 건물에 발을 들여놓는 순간 또 긴장이 되었지요.... 하지만 아는 얼굴들이 여기저기서 십년지기처럼 인사를 하면서 제맘을 편하게 해주었습니다. 소개를 받고 불이 꺼지고 파워포인트 슬라이드가 시작되고.... 어찌어찌 끝났습니다. 살았다.....</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
보자기를 나누며 새로운 사람들을 만나고 그들의 행복을 기원하는 제 위시리스트는 점점 길어집니다. </div>

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Last Saturday was my annual Cinderella Classic bike ride ritual day. I started 7-8 years ago with my friend and I was hooked on. In January a group of women start training for this fun 65 mile bike ride. We started training from 15 mile ride to 55 mile ride. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">On the day of the event, we rode 65 miles with a style! Our jersey is turquoise and socks are matching colors, too. Helmet was decorated with ribbons, feathers and flowers. I am very lucky to have these friends who are sharing this joy with me. This year, I got my best PR time! Life is good~ I will be back with more bojagi related stories soon.</span><br />

So Yong and her son came to my bojagi workshop. They both were very enthusiastic students. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
지난 겨울 소영씨와 아드님을 제 보자기 워크샵에서 만났습니다. 두사람 모두 바느질에 매우 열심이었지요.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NpAvzLZHRc4/VR3Gq5j_WZI/AAAAAAAABws/MQsZ7qOOb-8/s1600/IMG_3791sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NpAvzLZHRc4/VR3Gq5j_WZI/AAAAAAAABws/MQsZ7qOOb-8/s1600/IMG_3791sm.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
So Yong really liked my yellow/blue mosi jogakbo. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
소영씨는 제 모시 보자기 하나를 몹시 마음에 들어했지요.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
She asked me to make something for her bedroom and I started to make a rough draft. But it took me some time to get right colors for this project. I wasn't happy with fabrics that I have at home so decided to dye by myself. When I went to visit Carlene in Hawaii, I took 19 yards of fabrics with me. Some of them were used in this bojagi and I dyed more after I came back home.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
어느날 그녀는 제게 보자기를 만들어 달라고 부탁을 했습니다. 침실에 걸어놓을 보자기를 만들기로 했지요. 아이디어 스케치는 금방 했습니다만 딱 맞는 모시 색깔을 찾기가 쉽지않았어요. 부분만을 만들어 놓고는 한참을 고민했더랬답니다. 하와이의 칼린을 방문할때 작정을 하고 갔지요. 제 맘에 드는 색으로 모시 염색을 하리라! 하고요. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Once I have fabrics that I like, bojagi making process was enjoyable work! </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;">그래서 색을 얻고 집에서 좀더 많은 양의 모시를 염색한 후에는 일사천리로 보자기가 커지고 어느새 완성이 되었습니다.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I wish my happy thoughts delivered to So Yong's house with these bojagi. Thank you So Yong for letting me to have this fun project!</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
소영씨 집으로 보자기와 함께 좋은 기운이 함께 자리잡기를 바랍니다. 소영씨, 정말 즐거운 작업이었어요. 고마워요!</div>

Sophia has a beautiful house and she wanted me to make bojagi for her dining table. She asked me to make two bojagi and it took me long time to design one of them. Sometimes designing process takes long time but I was glad that I finally finished it. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
소피아씨네 집은 참 현대적이면서 아름답습니다. 그댁 다이닝룸 테이블에 깔아 놓을 보자기제작을 의뢰받고 디자인하는데 꽤 오랜시간이 걸렸답니다. 색을 맞추고 모양을 고민하면서 여름과 가을이 다 가고 겨울이 되어서야 겨우 완성해서 한숨을 돌립니다.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: center;">First thing to do after I finish making new bojagi is- taking lots of pictures!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I forgot how many years that I've been participating this fun celebration. More than 10 years for sure but can't remember when was my first year.... One thing for sure, I had a great time again! Happy Lunar New Year! The year of Ram (or Sheep or Goat)! I was sitting next to the lady who came with her books and sign her book when people purchased them. Her name is Lee (actual name is Eleanor Herz Swent) and we had a great time talking each other. I got her book and this is going to be my next read. I will update you when I finish reading it.</span></span><br />

19 yards of fabrics and Korean cooking ingredients, these were packed in my luggage and I left home for Hawaii. Do you remember my friend, Carlene? She found me on internet and left a message in my voice mail when I went to Maui a few years ago. She was living in Hawaii and this is how our friendship started. We met each other in Santa Clara when she visited the Bay area and she introduced me to Peter Macuso, PIQF organizer. The next year, I started teaching bojagi workshops at PIQF! I saw her a couple more times when she visited the Bay area and I finally decided to visit her in Hawaii.<br />
옷감 19마와 고추장, 고추가루, 떡볶이 떡, 마른 멸치, 다시마 등등의 식재료를 넣은 여행가방을 꾸려서 하와이로 향했습니다. Carlene을 기억하세요? 어느날 마우이에 여행을 와서 집에 전화 메세지를 확인하면서 인연이 닿은 하와이에 사는 제 친구입니다. 그후 베이지역으로 그녀가 왔을때 산타클라라의 퀼트쇼에 가서 처음 만나고 또 그녀의 도움으로 PIQF퀼트쇼에서 보자기를 가르치게 되었지요. 언젠가 하와이에 가서 그녀를 만나리라 생각하고 있다가 어느날 미루지말고 가자! 하는 마음으로 여행을 떠났습니다.<br />
The day I arrived, I was amazed how beautiful her house is! And she hanged her art quilts almost every corner of her house. This is one of her beautiful works. Mosi(ramie) bojagi window hanging!<br />
도착해서 그녀의 집에 들어선 순간 아름다운 집에 놀라고 또 멋진 그녀의 퀼트가 집안 구석구석을 채우고 있는것에 또한번 감탄을 했답니다! 물론 아름다운 모시 조각보 까지도요!<br />

Next two days, Carlene and I were busy dyeing fabrics during the day and Korean cooking at nights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I mentioned, I washed 19 yards of fabrics at home and took them with me. I ended up dyeing 2 more yards of linen from Carlene's bolt. Solid colors with 2-3 different shades and fun ice dyeing were so much fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
그후 이틀간 낮에는 염색을, 밤에는 한국음식파티를 하느라 분주 분주 했답니다. 집에서 가져간 19마의 옷감외에도 리넨 두마를 더 얻어 단색부터 그라데이션 그리고 얼음염색까지 신나는 시간을 보냈지요!</div>

After the dye class, we quickly changed our mode to Korean cooking! I bought a couple of ingredients that Carlene couldn't get in the island and we took a trip to the local market in the morning for other ingredients. She invited some of her good neighbors and friends to participated in chopping and mixing ingredients. Everybody took a part of making dishes and we all ate together while enjoying each other's company.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
염색을 다 마치고 얼른 요리와 손님맞이로 저녁을 시작합니다. 하와이서 구하기 힘든 고추장과 몇가지를 빼고는 대부분의 재료를 동네 가게에 가서 사왔지요. 그리고 Carlene의 친구들이 하나둘씩 도착하고 모두들 재료를 씻고 썰고 굽고 볶으며 분주한 시간을 보냈지요. 음식이 완성되고 둘러앉아 함께 먹으니 얼마나 즐거운지요!</div>
