“Audrey Wilson, from Indian Wells, Arizona, has specialized in two-faced and other fancy weaves for over four decades. She is a particularly versatile weaver of many styles. Here she combines ye’ii bicheii and storm patterns with a striped pattern on the reverse side.” —Ann Hedlund

“This piece is two-faced. The weaver had to count her threads out real carefully. This style is from ‘way back when.’ Hardly anyone does it anymore.” —Barbara Ornelas
