What a great class! Yesterday, we had a wonderful visit with Martin Link, who told us about how he and Geraldine came to write the children's classic book, The Goat in the Rug. By the end of class this morning, we had seven rugs finished! Some of them had been packed, but you can see what a great job the students did on the ones that we were able to photograph. Happy and safe travels home to all of our students. Thank you for coming to our class!

Thanks to Gloria Begay and Jennie Slick for their insights and patience in teaching me Navajo weaving techniques and to Mary Walker for being such a wonderful hostess showing us around. Her knowledge and patience with us was much appreciated. Field trips to the Crownpoint rug auction, Gallup Flea Market, Toadlena Trading Post and Canyon de Chelly were insightful and great fun! I enjoyed getting to know the other students in the class. This highly recommended this class. It was a great experience.
