My name is Ker Lor. I was introduced to the art of cross-stitch by the elders in my community as a young girl. I vividly remember being around 8 years old when I first learned this craft, and I continued practicing it into my mid-20’s. I am passionate about reviving this tradition, ensuring that future generations can learn, appreciate, and carry it forward. In this session, we’ll explore the basics of traditional Hmong cross-stitch, focusing on the “paj ntaub” (pronounced pa doe) pattern of a house, commonly used on a Hmong outfit and many other things.
