| Seminole piecing |
 |
| Seminole piecing is I think one of the few techniques devised for a machine from the beginning. The Seminole Indians in Florida's Everglades used this technique for clothing but it can be used on quilts, cushions, bags, belts. It is a strip piecing technique whereby the pattern is gained by judicious cutting. Here is a tutorial http://sewwellmaide.com.au/2012/09/tutorial-seminole-piecing.html and a you tube video showing one possibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEnTtX3sEnM |

| Rosemary is very good at these little quilts. The quilting around the hearts really makes them puff up and gives a lovely design on the back as well |
 |
| Wendy's completed ginham quilt - so pretty...... |

| A simple idea which came alive with the red sashing and border |

| Jackie is going to use these as cornerstones for her big hexies - it will be a gorgeous quilt |
 |
