Window Rock, AZ I know it’s late, but I had to share pictures of three rugs that were finished today by our students (the class picture is above).  Sisters Mary Mathiowetz and Deb Fjetland finished their pieces earlier this evening and you can see them below with Jennie Slick.  Deb is a first time weaver and Mary is a student of the late Belle Rosing.

Hot off the loom!  Another piece was finished.   You can see it below.

 

Another finished rug!

Another finished rug!

I’ll sign off until tomorrow and I’ll be working on a gallery of pictures for your perusal over the next few days.  Another student will be finishing her piece in the morning and the others will be completed at home.  We’ll be closing this class session tomorrow, but in the Navajo tradition the spirit of the class will continue as long as there is anyone to remember it.

Hagoshíí (so long for now)

    Raymon: I have a blanket simialr to the pink blanket. My dad's family had sheep. Every year they would gather the wool and take it to Utah Woolen mills and make beautiful wool blankets. Similar to Pendleton blankets, in many different colors. Love the turquoise jewlrey. My mom has a big beaded bag of it that I hope I get a few peices of (she's half Native American) She finds it kind of amusing that Native American prints etc. are "in" right now.

    Remigio: Way to go, Navajo Nation! Either cease-and-desist, or collect roiaetyls for the use of your name (only on quality products of which you approve, of course). Same with sports teams that use Native names as mascots. Until recently, the University of North Dakota was paying the Standing Rock Sioux annual roiaetyls to use the name Fighting Sioux , which was a win-win and a source of pride for both parties. Unfortunately for both the Tribe and the university, political correctness put an end to that.

    Ann Puzio: Hi Mary, Need to change to the waiting list for 9/13-20th. I hope this is possible.Also, going to see if I can sign up for the online class, need to check my computer. Thanks ann
