Red Quillwork Lines of red quillwork tend to be associated with women's moccasins and were largely made by the Dakota Sioux tribes in the late 1800s. Lines such as these in either quillwork or beadwork were often used to represent trails or paths. Moccasins with Red Quillwork Design Lakota Tribe 1977.70.16
Bead Stitching Lazy Stitch The easiest way to bead large areas was to use the "Lazy" stitch. In the Central Plains, the Teton Dakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes used this style of beading. Eight to ten beads were strung to form a row that was sewn down at the ends. Drawing of Lazy Stitch Drawing Credit: Barbara Hail, Hau, Kola!
