After retiring about 14 years ago from property management, I began weaving on a Rio Grande loom at a class at Tierra Wools, in Los Ojos, New Mexico. Two of my Rio Grande tapestries can be seen at the Denver Art Museum at its SPUN exhibit.
A few years after learning to weave, I adventured to the Navajo Indian Reservation to learn the Navajo way of weaving, and I make it a yearly commitment to go visit my friends on the Reservation and gain greater insight into Navajo weaving and its traditions.
Having portable Navajo style looms makes it easy to weave the many rugs I have woven while on the go.
Besides weaving, other interests include spinning on a spinning wheel, a drop spindle, and Navajo hip spindle; and Plains Indian style beading. I am also a member of Handweavers’ Guild of Boulder and Rocky Mountain Weaver’s Guild. Two study groups I am involved with are a tapestry weaving study group and a Navajo style weaving study group.
I live in Crestone, Colorado, with my husband, two beautiful Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers and my nine looms with an extensive yarn stash.
