SUMMARY:Hart Square Hosts Cross Stitch Class 04/12/25
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, we will explore the basics of traditional Hmong cross-stitch\, focusing on the paj ntaub (pronounced "pa doe") pattern\, commonly used on the back collar (dab tshos - pronounced "da chu") of a Hmong outfit.\n\nThe dab tshos carries deep cultural significance\, once believed to be a secret hidden map worn on the back for protection. Traditionally\, every Hmong girl was expected to learn this craft there was even a saying that if you didn't know how to do it\, you weren't considered a good daughter or daughter-in-law.  Though life today is busier than ever\, we believe it is essential to keep this meaningful tradition alive for generations to come.
