Summer is a very busy time for me. Over the weekend I went to the Crownpoint Rug Auction, a couple of rez flea markets, and worked on my projects in Church Rock. I am preparing for a couple of upcoming events for this summer. I will be team teaching Navajo Weaving Boot Camp with Jennie Slick, Rose Dedman, and Mary Walker in a couple weeks at the Handweaver’s Guild of America’s Convergence 2010 in Albuquerque, NM. I have a Board of Trustees meeting at the Wheelwright Museum this week and then my other event is demonstrating Navajo weaving, carding, and handspinning at the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, NM during the Santa Fe Indian Market.
I will continue to go on my shopping trips on the rez and border towns. Please contact me if you have any questions. Until the next time….
I am finalizing and working on my last series before the Santa Fe Indian Market. This year, 2010, is a major year for weaving, weaving classes and Convergence 2010 in Albuquerque, NM. There is a major exhibit at the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, NM, Nizhoni Shima’: Master Weavers of the Toadlena/Two Grey Hills Region (www.wheelwright.org).
Here’s my tribute to recognize and honor some of matriarchs of Dine’ weaving. Come and meet Daisy, Clara and Virginia. Please contact me if you have any questions.

I’m the cover model for the Wheelwright Museum’s Annual Live Auction during the Santa Fe Indian Market week in Santa Fe, NM. I’ve come across my photos holding either a vintage Santo Domingo Pueblo water jar or a vintage Apache burden basket. Here’s the latest photo of me in an ad for the Wheelwright’s Live Auction. I am wearing my traditional jewelry, my Bluebird Flour sack shirt, and my Pendleton robe.
I will be helping with the auction again this year. I hope to see you there supporting the Wheelwright Museum. Thank you.
I have fantastic news. First, I will be part of the team that will teach Navajo Weaving Boot Camp class at the Handweavers’ Guild of America’s Convergence gathering in July 2010. This will be my first group teaching experience and I am looking forward to it. My second piece of good news is a nice way to finish the week. I am nominated to be part of the Board of Directors for the Wheelwright Museum, which is a privately operated museum in Santa Fe, NM.
I am looking forward to meeting people and participating in teaching weaving and being part of the Board. I appreciate support from family, friends and supporters of my work!!
I want to share with you a wonderful experience I had where I had the opportunity to work with the staff at the Wheelwright Museum to exhibit my weaving during the beginning of my professional weaving career. I had the opportunity to influence the space in which my weavings would be exhibited by having the walls painted in the sacred colors of my culture, Dine’, but in muted shades of yellow, blue and gray. The other sacred color is white. An interview followed where I discussed the inspiration and context in which I created each of my weavings. The catalogue features wonderful, high quality photos of my sashes, wall hangings, and rugs with commentary in my voice, which was very minimally edited. This exhibition was featured at the Wheelwright Museum from January 31, 2004 to April 18, 2004.
I posted an image (below) of the cover of my exhibition catalogue. Yes, this copy is my working copy so it is somewhat damaged. Please contact the Case Trading Post if you are interested in purchasing a new catalogue at a bargain price of $10 for unsigned copies. Enjoy!
