A roll of Seminole Indian Patchwork waits to become borders for button blanket robes designed and made by Clarissa Rizal
Back in 2005, I was given the honor to design and create a button blanket robe for a prominent elder in our community, Ethel Lund. The border of the robe was a Seminole Indian patchwork trimmed out with Navajo ribbon work. The robe is called “Frog Speaks” — it is part of my button blanket collection on my website at this link: http://clarissarizal.com/gallery/button-robes/
I have several feet of this roll of Seminole Indian patchwork wide enough for the borders to a couple of button blanket robes — with all the designs and options of fabrics, etc., it’s so hard to make up my mind how I want them to turn out! The possibilities are endless! You ever have that problem!?
