Jerome
The town of Jerome perches more than 5,000
feet above Arizona's Verde Valley. Long
before the town boomed with prospectors in
the 1880s, the territory was home to the
Anasazi, Apache, Hohokam and Sinagua
peoples. We re-created this late 1920s
blanket design from our archives and named
it after the ethereal, once-notorious city
of Jerome. The pattern incorporates the
nine-element diamond design common to Native
American weavings of the area. The original
has been re-colored in vivid jewel tones
that reflect the stunning Arizona landscape. |

Chinle
Chinle weavings were traditionally borderless
with horizontal bands of plain stripes alternating
with bands of geometric designs. Chevrons, diamonds
and stylized squash blossoms were common motifs. |

Father's Eyes
Our Father's Eyes is a tribute to the men who watch
over and guide us as we journey through this earth.
The diamonds represent a father's eyes. Arrowheads
signify the unwavering protection a father provides
for his family and the direction that he offers to
his sons and daughters. The traditional step pattern
echoes a father's lifesteps from birth and into the
spirit world. The wave design represents the ebb and
flow of life's ups an downs through which our father
offers his love and support. A portion of the sale
of each blanket will go to supporting the American
Indian College Fund. |
