Hmong Hearts bed quilt made by Pat Amundrud of Canada, with squares purchased in N. Thailand
7/7/09 – Today, we received the following note:
Dear Pat,
I was particularly interested in The Quilter article about Hmong needlework.
My husband and I traveled throughout Laos and Thailand in 2004 and found the street markets with the bed-toppers of needlework, and the very young children doing embroidery work in a village. I purchased 10 squares in northern Thailand. What a challenge to set them into a quilt! I’ve attached three different views of my quilt.
I’ve been to the Vermont Quilt Show twice and found a vendor selling Hmong needlework.
Thanks,
Pat Amundrud

Here are the other photos of Pat’s wonderful quilt that she calls, “Hmong Hearts.”
