These Palestinian tatreez artists are introducing the Midwest to our most beloved folk art

I got to write the best kind of story: one where I can blend my own personal experience and interviews with people I admire. That’s how this article about Palestinian artists in the Midwest keeping the folk art of tatreez (cross-stitch embroidery) alive in the region came to be.

I even got to include a photo of my great-grandmother in there wearing one of her handmade tatreez thobes. Read it now in Arts Midwest to see!
