This is a story blanket created by the Hmong people. Originally, Hmong women practiced embroidery as a young child to learn how to sew clothes for their family. After the war, these women practiced on what is now known as the story blanket. Many are used to express life at home, the hmong culture, traditions, myths, weddings, and war stories.
Some difficulties that I have with finding secondary sources is that there is not a lot of articles on the EBSCOhost database in regards to the Hmong story blankets. It could be that the key terms I am inputting is too specific maybe but it is still very hard trying to find a good article. I intend on searching for more secondary sources on another database. As of right now, I am searching for a book to buy to use as a secondary source. I am also just looking at other people's articles on this subject online to view their sources and that seems to be incredibly helpful.
