Tuesday, May 11th, 2010Hmong Story Quilts
Saturday, May 1st, 2010During “Savor Selinsgrove” on May 15, The Sewing Shanty will have a quilt and needlepoint display from the mountains of Laos. Since most Hmong could not read or write, they told their stories through their sewing and embroidery. The workmanship is amazing. The scrolls are worked in reverse applique and the stitches are barely visible. These are original quilts that were produced individually and were not meant for commercial resale. Stop by the shop, and Rev. Mary Peterhaensel, will tell how she obtained these quilts, while teaching them English. A one of a kind collection! Visit www.selinsgrove.net for more information about May 15TH. A true learning experience for all.
