Allison’s Native American Purse & Accessories

The idea of this sewing set came to me when on July 2010, with my husband and our daughter, I was driving on US Route 89 from South Rim and North Rim of Grand Canyon through Marble Canyon.

This road is also named Fredonia-Vermillion Cliffs Scenic Byway and enables travelers to take a trip across Northern Arizona to the great meadows and forests of the Kaibab Plateau.

As we drove, the flora and fauna changed from desert scrub to juniper, oak and aspens as the blue green waters of the Colorado River cut through Marble Canyon.Beginning in Page and heading south to Bitter Springs, we drove past the red and plum hues of the Vermillion Cliffs and we walked across the Historic Navajo Bridge……..

Dedicated to my friend Allison Leigh Schmidt (Marble Canyon Metal Works), this sewing set is inspired by Native American symbols and petroglyphs.
