A Korean quilt from the 1950’s with hand embroidery created for a special occasion
Duk-Sun is a former employee and incredible hand sewer. I reached out to her to see if she could shed some light on the meaning of the embroidered designs on this piece brought back from Korea by a friend of Sarah’s. She’s Korean and was nice enough to come in and look it over. Her feedback included that the piece was probably gifted for a special occasion such as for a wedding gift. The delicate hand embroidery and sewing shows scenes from everyday Korean life around or before the time of the Korean war. The scenes were familiar to her and she was able to provide some descriptions for them pictures. Thanks Duk-Sun.
