Born in the early 1500's this very talented woman quietly sidestepped the harsh restrictions of the times to express her artistic gifts through embroidery, calligraphy, poetry and painting. She painted simple but elegant representations of plants and insects on decorative screens to grace her family's living quarters. Here an international group of quilt artists interpret seven of these beautiful paintings in applique. We invite you to join them in celebrating the spirit of one of Korea's most notable women. The book features 17 beautiful quilts by quilt artists from the US, Canada, Korea, the UK & New Zealand, full-size tear-out patterns for each design, biographical information on participating quilters, and comments on their work, cultural notes on Korea and the life of Sim Saimdang, and helpful information on appliqué methods and materials.  Author: Shirley MacGregor and Sheila Steers; The Carriage Trade Company; 95 pages; softcover.
