- www.craftinamerica.org. Susan Hudson, a Navajo/Diné artist from Sheep Springs, NM was taught to sew by her mother who was forced to sew at an “assimilation” boarding school. Hudson’s pictorial quilts honor her ancestors and the proud history of the Navajo people using a crossover style inspired by Ledger art. Recounting history through her ledger quilts has made Hudson an activist storyteller, chronicling the hardships endured by her ancestors.

Dear Susan, being a art quilter my self, I find you quilts to be very beautiful. They tell a wonderful story that is beautiful. I wish to thank you for sharing your art with us. Ladena
You are a Beautiful Light in this World, Bless you for your Vision and Light
A gift to your Women with Honor and your People with Love.
so lovely...the people, the land, the culture, the quilts.
Ms Hudson your quilts are stunning. Thank you for sharing your story.
You have every right to do whatever makes you happy as an art. No one has the right to tell you how to live your life. The didn't have the right to put you all on reservations but they did it. We will sew what we wish, you and I and the world will be better for what we make.
My great grandfather was a ojibwe code talker along with his brother & cousin!!
This needs to be seen by more people
Talking about the boarding school made me so emotional! Our people are so resilient and our culture is so beautiful!!
Out of this world beautiful quilts and story Thank you for sharing
How very beautiful. You are leaving stories of your culture for future generations! Have not been so touched by a story such as this one. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Susan is amazing AND beautiful.
I’ve met this amazing woman. Her quilts tell amazing stories. The story of her quilt of the children taken away from their families is stunning. She is a treasure to her ancestors.

Wonderfully inspiring Thankyou
For some it is too painful to create such a thing of beauty that documents the past. You are a special lady.
How beautiful quilts and the life so sad what happened long ago,. Give the quilts to your kids and grandkids it's the legacy they have.
Beautiful woman/spirit. Love her love and admiration for her people and sharing of herself through her gift of sewing. God Bless you!
Susan: Thank you so much for your time and talents! Thanks to you many can and are being educated👏👏👏 You are truly using God given talents❤️😀
Wow! Such beautiful work!
Absolutely amazing story, thank you x
You are a wonderful woman, empowering through the love of your craft. You brought me to Tears with your words. Blessings to you and yours ❤️
Me too. Lots of tears
What beautiful work and a wonderful alternate language for those who cannot hear oral language. This is a very tactile way of sharing your history and leaving a legacy for others. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your quilts are beautiful, I was told by my elders to make a flaw in anything I made. Even if others can't see the flaw you know and spirit knows. To be humble is important in all things.
I just want to share an idea I have for quilting. I love quilts, never learned. I grew up in Southern California. My neighborhood is mostly Latino families. They love their heritage from Mexico & the different states that they came from. I thought it would be a very thriving business if quilts could be ordered to be made by hand and personalized by the customer choosing which state they are from and several other themes to be sewed on them whether it be a common occupation, like a local bakery, or raising, growing, working whatever was personal to their hearts. A customised quilt, with state and other varying artwork would make a very cherished family heirloom, to last for years. There is 32 states, in Mexico They all have flags, they all have capitals, they all have pride.
Native American and their Nations would also be a wonderful way to record and document, anything from the hearts and memory of languages, crafts, traditions, etc. These are precious and must be preserved.
I hope someone can take this idea and make it a family business, ♥ thanks for reading.
What a wonderful idea👏👏👏. Growing up in AZ(Phx area) we had the pleasure of getting to know both the American Indians and the Mexicans...!!! I found it very fascinating to learn even though I don’t know ALL. Both cultures and customs have always been near and dear to my heart. God’s Blessings ❤️😀
Maybe you are the one who should be creating quilts. It’s never too late to learn. 🥰
I love your quilts. When I make a quilt, a lot oh heart goes into them. Each one has brought someone I care about to mind and soon that is who I’m making it for.
But my favorite was using orphan blocks that I found in my great grandmothers trunk. I put them into a quilt for my mother. Thank you for sharing your art and history with us!
I loved the one with horses and "ghost" riders!
This is a beautiful tribute to your family and a wonderful history lesson. Thanks for sharing.
These are such incredible story quilts. I would so love to see them in person. Life, for me, has passed too quickly to see all there is to see.
Hello Lee..
How are you doing today?
Beautiful work Susan Hudson 😉 thank you for sharing your work & stories
What a marvellous way of remembering one's ancestors and their stories. Beautiful and heart-rending at the same time.
I have just started quilting in the UK and found your beautiful channel. Such deeply special and spiritual creations. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing quilts!!! Your stry must be told and never forgotten.
As a Jewish woman, granddaughter of a Polish Jew, hoose entire family was murdered by the nazzis, I hurt the holocaust suffered by all Native American, over all of the American continent, by the hands of conquerors.
Thank you so much for sharing this, and for telling your story!
Your art is beautiful and I love that it tells your peoples story!
It's so wonderful to hear your story. I come from a line that did not share our history. I have some native American blood but now I need to search to find WHO I am
You do beautiful work! Please ignore people who try to discourage you-keep on keeping on! I am White, but garment sewing is my happy place. It is therapeutic.
👏👏👏 ❤️😀
That horse appliqué is beautiful. The patchwork stars just amazing. Such wonderful work. It would be a dream to spend time watching you work :)
Hello Terry..
How are you doing today?
Love your story you have such beautiful quilts all the best donna from Canada
So moving. Keep the story going🙏❤
I love sewing, not as beautiful as your quilts. The fact that it has stories along with your project it gives me motivation. I love your work.
Your quilts are beautiful. I too quilt. I think each quilt tells a story in its own way. I love giving quilts away.
I felt the love here and I cried too- amazing quilts and heritage! I was told as a child of whom I was named after in my family and that she was Chickasawhay Indian. Therefore, I became fascinated with Indian cultures around me. I often asked around for old pictures of such family through the years but that was unsuccessful. Yet, in my mind will always be imbedded the description of someone I was told I highly resembled having long hair, withered hands and wearing native clothing. Her 150ish year-old quilt hand sewn with all those wonderful, significant, vintage fabrics is no more but her wash pot is still here and so is her descendant that adores quilting, no doubt as much as she did!
Beautiful! Love your work.
Thank you for letting me hear part of your story.
Beautiful love your quilts. Tragic how the American native people were treated.
Absolutely stunning quilts and stories. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful and moving!
I cried with you when you gave your quilt away. I cried first with her when she saw it. Your hearts are one. Every part of your story is beautiful.
This was amazing thank you for sharing this with us. God Bless John 3:17
Thank you for sharing
I love the history of the Indian tribes. My Step father was Cherokee, and my Father was Northern Canadian Indian, but I forgot the tribe. I was raised by my step father. but he taught me well. I remember him crying for his ancestors. I love the fact you hand quilt as I find that so relaxing in my own quilting

Beautiful!!! I love that you are sharing the stories with us all!
Amazing work, lovely lady. An Old Girl in KZN SOUTH AFRICA
I am moved to tears by hearing your stories that go with your amazing quilts. My grandson is there on the Navajo Reservation, serving a mission for our Church. He loves the wonderful people, and the beautiful traditions of the Navajo people. You are a true artist, and your quilts are works of art and history. Thank you.❤️
So beautiful!
I am proud of your talent, your story, your stand , & courage. Continue
passing the history of your ancestros . Hopefully the young people will listen, & someday continue the teachings .
Those Lone Star and appliqué quilts are so beautiful. I quilt so know the skill that this art takes. To see the bonds of family and friendship coming together to celebrate their survival is so moving 🕯🙏🏻 🏴
I'm a Mexican-American man and have Yaqui heritage. I also love to sew. Make what you love and not what others like. It's your art and your creations. As long as you love what you make it doesn't matter what others think. Eventually someone is gonna fall in love with your art. Respect to my indigenous brothers and sisters.
I love your story ,and i am a quilter but nothing compares to your quilts and the beautiful story of your people , I know you already know this but we won World War Two because of the Navajo language so thanks to your people we live today in a some what free world .
Awesome.
Beautiful. I love it. I used to live in Gallup, NM and I loved all of my Navajo friends soooo much and still do!! ♥️
Your work is so beautiful ❤
As a quilter myself, I consider myself in very good company. From my perspective of the war in the Pacific, the code talkers won it. People who had nothing to prove, proved everything. I have so much gratitude for them.
Amazing lady with an amazing heritage.Thank you for sharing and inspiring
Your quilts are so wonderful I could look at them all day. I love the colors you choose they are wonderful
My Sister Desbah went to a boarding school, when she was with us she told me how horrible the school was, never seeing her family. I’m so sorry for your Mother’s experience.
Thank you for sharing! I have visited friends on the Navaho Reservation outside Flagstaff, Az. It was a wonderful experience. I am also a quilter and love her history quilts! What a true inspiration!
Thank you for sharing your story, your quilts and your love for your clan. 🌻
Beautiful quilts and stories. Beautiful woman. 💕
Beautiful !
I am a self-taught quilter. I admire your work!
Your quilts are beautiful!
It's interesting that she said in traditional textile making for her ethnic group, perfection is not stressed as they believe only God can create perfect things and so it is okay for humans to make imperfect art. In looking into the history of traditional Black American quilting, Ive found a similar opinion is held. They too believe that only God can create perfection and so their "mistakes" arent mistakes at all.
I think I’ve heard the Amish believe it as well.
As far as I know all quilters, and probably every craft person, believes that only God is perfect. I make plenty of mistakes so I don’t have to make one on purpose like more skilled crafters do. Her work is incredible, beautiful, and inspiring.
The Amish quilters also believe that only God can ce perfect …
This is beautiful but so sad that our indigenous people have these stories to tell. ❤️
Campbell could of said something other than boring bc starquilts are NOT boring!! Smh..but I'm glad you used it in a good way to make more artwork!!
I WISH YOU GOOD HEALTH. Please keep the story going don't ever stop.
Very beautiful.
Beautiful story and history you are giving others. Bless you. 💞
so beautiful...
This beautiful lady, while incorporating traditional designs, is actually producing modernist art. The original inhabitants of this land have been unjustly subordinated by decaying colonialism. We need to advance them to bring this country back to greatness.
Hello Lisa..

🌞🌞🌞🌞…🦋🦋🦋
I admire you and would love to purchase your quilt. I am a former Marine and had the pleasure of meeting the code talkers at the Navajo nation fair in 1997 innWidow Rick Arizona.
I would love to help, I would like to buy a oversized twin quilt from you.
Love your quilts.
Your right, only God is perfect. But, God loves us so, so he gave us His only son to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus paid the price for our rebellion.
Jesus rose again on the 3rd day. He conquered death.
John says in his letter in the Bible. For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 😀
Aóó Nízhóní'yee"
I know that our people invaded your country and I apologize for the sad way all native Americans were treated .
