JEWEL
TONE MOSAIC WALLHANGING by Margaret Wood
Pattern with detailed instructions for
51"HX46"W wall hanging inspired by the mosaic jewelry
of the Pueblo Indians.
Price: $6.00 plus $1.00 postage
Historically, the jewelers crafted mosaic earrings, pendants
and bracelets out of turquoise, white clam shell, and black
jet. Modern Indian jewelers have begun using ivory, coal, lapsis
lazuli, sugilite and onyx used in mosaic pieces. The Jewel Tone
Mosaic Wall hanging was conceived as a demonstration segment
created for HGTV's Simply Quilt program. The center section
of the wallhanging is composed of wedge-shaped pieces. It is
surrounded by a two-tone border and an outer border of squares
and narrow strips. All of the fabrics mimic stone colors and
have a sheen to simulate the polished surfaces in mosaic work.

SEMINOLE
PATCHWORK SAMPLER WALL HANGING by
Margaret Wood
Pattern for the quilt demonstration on
Simply Quilts Program. Detailed Instructions for a
62 1/2"X 48"W wall hanging.
Price: $6.00 plus $1.00 postage.
Seminole
Patchwork Sampler Wallhanging Pattern incorporates 6 different
Seminole patchwork designs into a rectangular wallhanging. The
origin of Seminole patchwork, also known as strip patchwork,
is somewhat sketchy. The Florida Seminole started creating their
distinctive patchwork clothing styles in the 1800's. Early clothing
styles for both men and women consisted of multi-colored horizontal
bands of trade cotton with one or two simple bands of appliquéd
or pieced strip patchwork. In the late 1800's and early 1900's,
with the introduction of hand-cranked and foot treadle sewing
machines, a patchwork explosion occurred. Women started using
many bands of complicated patchwork strips in full skirts for
the women and jackets for the men. While originally made for
personal use, the fiercely independent Seminoles started increasing
the production of patchwork items as a means of earning income
by selling to tourists. Margaret Wood's Seminole Patchwork Sampler
was conceived as a demonstration project created for an HGTV's
Simply Quilts episode, titled. "Native American Quilting:
(show #447). The pattern discusses assembly with sashing and
quilting options.

Pieced and quilted vest. Dry clean.
Made in the US.

The
mosaic vests were inspired by the mosaic jewelry tradition
of the Pueblo Indians. Modern Indian jewelry artists have
begun to mix many kinds of semi-precious stones together in
contemporary jewelry creations. That idea inspired the mixing
of stone or jewel colors in the Mosaic Vests. All of the colors
can be related to stones such as turquoise, coral, ivory,
fossilized ivory (tan), lapis lazuli, sugilite (purple), malachite
(green) and onyx. All of the fabrics have a sheen. Fabric
content varies and includes silk, cotton, polyester and other
synthetics. Fronts are quilted with a thin cotton batting.
Cotton lining.
