Reviews

A textile artist whose principal interest is in designing bold, large-scale quilts, Hanisko was never attracted to Seminole patchwork, which she considered too time-consuming. When she realized that the pieced bands of fabric used in traditional Seminole quilting are but a small part of a larger whole, she began using this technique in her own work. Here she teaches speedy techniques of basic strip piecing and methods for incorporating finished bands into the finished quilt. This is not a project book, but Hanisko includes a catalog of Seminole designs for readers' use in their own designs. Recommended for large public libraries and technique-oriented textile collections.
