"My grandmother, Francis Esther Nelson Johnson, once owned this beautiful blanket. It was sold during the Depression to the Rasmussen Collection to feed her hungry children. I would love for this family treasure to return home one day. As a student of Ravenstail weaving, studying and recreating this work of art would be such a blessing.
Please help me me find a way to reconnect with this amazing piece of history.
Gunalcheesh,
Sheila Morton"
