Lynda Teller Pete and Barbara Teller Ornelas are the premiere Navajo Tapestry Weavers. Two Grey Hills Tapestry Weaver Lynda Teller Pete and Barbara Teller Ornelas are Tabaaha (Water Edge Clan) and born for the To’aheedliinii (Two Waters Flow Together Clan). Lynda and Barbara were raised there along with their siblings at the Two Grey Hills Trading Post. Her mother demonstrated weaving and attracted a constant flow of tourists. Indeed, Ruth Teller’s rugs were so prized that tourists often purchased them right off the loom. Needless to say, as a child, Lynda learned through observation.
