This page is Dedicated to the memory of my Grandmother Rena L. Johnson. I would also like to dedicate this page to my Aunt that was so special in my life, she recently passed away the 1st of December this year 2004. She believed in god and made her life according to his word in her daily life. She will as my grandmother, always hold a very special place in my heart. The song "Amazing Grace" was a favorite to them both. I felt a very special need to have the song here. And so, I will share the many different quilts and crafts that I enjoyed with my grandmother during her time on this precious earth with all of you who visit. I hope that you enjoy looking around. My Aunt Lucy was also one who quilted alot, she made many quilts in her lifetime for her family and friends. Please enjoy your stay here while viewing this page...May god bless each and everyone that visits here.

I began doing crafts with my Grandmother when I was only 6 years old. Those times when I was younger that was spent with her was where I felt safe and secure. If not for her I probally would not have the experience or the desire to do the crafts I do today. Together with other friends she gathered with, I learned how to make quilts, blankets and how to use needles to knit, and so forth. Her many talents have been passed on to a new generation, I only hope that I can do her justice by following in her footsteps. Through the years I have missed her very much since her passing on to a better place in heaven in 1987. She was a very wonderful woman who always took time to show you what to do without getting upset, even if you had to be shown again, and again like many kids do before they learn. She was a very patient and understanding Lady, I'll miss her very, very much.

The following are pictures of items and things that I have made for others as gifts. I never keep hardly anything that I make. My Grandmother was always making and giving her crafts to others, I have continued that tradition. The Items below I have made for many friends. I hope that you enjoy the crafts.

This is a leather bag that I made for my son Jedidiah, It goes with his tribal dress for ceremonies.

This bag was made for Chris my other son for the tribal ceremonies also. It is from a different type of leather.

The birds that you see here, I made while in Korea. I got into ceramics there. It helped pass the time.

This was one of my first baby blankets. I make one for anyone that gets pregnant that I work with. I made this one for Dana Fields. She really loved it.

This blanket took a while, Sammy loves bears, so I had to do this one for her. You should have seen her face when she opened it. She loved it.

I will have more as I get them to post, many I never took pictures of so I have to try and relocate most of the people that I gave them too. We'll see how many of them I can find. "LOL"

I am awaiting pictures that are out being developed, Hope that you will come back later to check for updated items.
