“For centuries needlework has been part of Hmong culture. But is has only been within the last two decades that “story cloths” emerged as a way for Hmong to keep their stories alive.

“For the Hmong people, story cloths are a bridge between past and present. For all Americans. Dia’s Story Cloth is a universal story of the search for freedom.”
