Welcome to the Stew from Norway. Lots of people with amazing amounts of knowledge here, so I'm sure somebody will be able to help you.
Hi there and a big, warm welcome to the GardenStew forums from a very chilly Scotland. I'm no expert on African violets but do have three plants myself. Mine have never self seeded so I can't be of much help regarding harvesting the seeds but I'm sure someone will be along shortly who will be able to assist you.

Hi Mr Klonizakis Welcome to the stew from another Ontario gardener! I've never had my African Violets set seed, but the leaves do root easily.
Welcome o the forum. I've never tried AV from seed, but like Netty said they root easily by leaf cutting.
Mr Klonizakis, Sounds like maybe you could let us know how to get a.v. to set seed. Myself also have only been able to do it by leaf rooting. Frank has given links-hopefully those will help. Welcome to the stew.
