Folk Art Series stamps

The complete set of the ‘Folk Art’ series stamps are:

Pueblo Indian Pottery (Apr 13, 1977 – Santa Fe, NM)  Scott #1745-48
Quilts (Mar 8, 1978 – Charleston, WV)  Scott #1745-48
Pennsylvania Toleware (Apr 19, 1979 – Lancaster, PA) Scott #1775-78
Indian Masks (Sep 25, 1980- Spokane, WA) Scott #1834-37
Duck Decoys (Mar 22, 1985 – Shelburne, VT)  Scott #2138-41
Navajo Art (Sep 4, 1986 – Window Rock, AZ)  Scott #2235-38
Woodcarved Figurines (Oct 1, 1986 – Washington, DC)  Scott #2240-43
Lacemaking (August 14, 1987 – Ypsilanti, Mi.) Scott #2351-54
Carousel Animals (Oct 1, 1988 – Sandusky, OH) Scott #2390-93

I find it a bit strange to find "Indian Art" and "Navajo Art" stamps included in the set, but they are considered part of the series. The last two, lacemaking and Carousel animals do not include the "Folk Art" lettering. This whole series seems to be a bit ad hoc.
