Native American crafts



Daisy's House

             This is a beginning of a rug that Daisy is weaving.  (Right)  The picture blow is a rug dress that is very poular at graduation time for all of the Native American girls at graduation from High School.  This takes her about a week of weaving to do this.  Her clan sister is also weaving a dress below.  They sit and do this for hours.  In the lower right in the picture you can see her wood stove that warms the Hogan in winter.  behind her shoulder is the front door.

 This is Angela that is weaving a rug to sell.  They weavew the dresses and then they also make their own jewelry.  The sisters have given Mom several peaces of jewelry.

Angela Yazzi

 This is Angela that is weaving a rug to sell.  She does not speak any English so she says.  I think she understands but will not talk to you in English for fear she will make a mistake.  This would be a controversy and they do not like controversy.

 

This is a sample of the Book of Mormon Heirloom quilt that the Stake Relief Society is doing. Each sister that wants can do one of these.  Each block is 15 X 15 and portrayes a scene from the Book of Mormon.

The block on the left is Ammon protecting the King,s Sheep.  Each figure in the block is cut out and fused to the material on paper then transferred to the block.  When the quilts are finished in August they will then be put on display at the Stake Women's Conference in September.
