Giveaway – Gather Blanket From Pendleton

Giveaway – Gather Blanket From Pendleton

Thanks to our friends at Pendleton for sponsoring this month's contest!

The winner will receive the new Gather Blanket from Pendleton.

About Gathering Blanket

Like the piñon tree, members of the Navajo Nation gather resources to survive an increasingly precarious water supply. This blanket design, created by Diné artist Emma Robbins, features symbols of endurance. The center motif represents a young women's bracelet set with turquoise, a stone formed by rare rains flowing through layers of rock. Above and below is a sáanii (maternal grandmother) scarf crossed by traditional sash belts used in ceremonies and childbirth.

A portion of this blanket's sales will support DigDeep's Navajo Water Project, which brings clean running water to the homes of residents across the Navajo Nation.

  • 64″ x 80″
  • Napped; fabric is combed for a softer, thicker feel
  • Felt binding
  • 82% pure virgin wool/18% cotton
  • Fabric woven in our American mills
  • Made in USA

About the artist
Emma Robbins (Diné) is an artist, community organizer, and Executive Director of the Navajo Water Project, part of the human rights nonprofit, DigDeep Water. She completed her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and studied Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art History in Buenos Aires. Robbins strives to raise awareness of Native issues through her artwork, incorporating found materials gathered on her trips across the United States and abroad.



Note – Contest is open to US and Canadian residents.  A Canadian winner will receive the option to pay for the shipping of the blanket or a gift card for the value of the blanket.

    lovely design, but $300 is just a little too much for my pocket book to handle.

    Thank you SO much for going back to this format for this month’s giveaway! It is so much better than the January giveaway format with the 24 hour entry limitation and all of the long videos to watch daily. This is 100 times better!
