Mommy Day

This Mothers' Day, we mixed metaphors a bit. We got a Pendleton blanket for the bed that has a design "inspired by Art Deco design elements of some of New York City's iconic skyscrapers.... It is a salute to the skilled Native American steel workers who built some of the city's most beautiful and famous landmarks" During the 1920s and forward, many Mohawk and Iroquois were hired as workers during construction of tall buildings, and "quickly earned a reputation as top-notch, sure-footed workers on high steel." The name of the pattern is Skywalkers, after these workers, all of whom were named Luke.
