Rosalie Red Elk — Star Quilt Maker

Rosalie is able to become an independent entrepreneur with a loan from Lakota Funds and to make quilts according to her vision of what these quilts represent for the Lakota people. And she'll be able to make them at an affordable price so they can be used for ceremonies and give-aways in the Lakota tradition.

Congratulations on your new business...I would have loved to see your work, I kind of stumbled upon your site because I really would like to learn how to make these beautiful star quilts, especially from native people as I am a native from the Cree First Nation of Waswanipi :) My dream also is to start a small quilting business selling fabric, yarn and also beads to the population of the Crees of the respective nine communities in Quebec.
