Book Synopsis Rio Grande Textiles by : Nora Fisher
Book excerpt: Rio Grande Textiles celebrates the vibrant and distinctive art form present in the Spanish communities of New Mexico and southern Colorado since European importation of the loom to the Rio Grande Valley some 400 years ago. The region's weavers evolved the distinctive styles and patterns found in Saltillo and Vallero blankets, weft ikat, handspun cotton blankets, jerga floor coverings, and colcha embroidery.
