A Heart of Compassion—Hand Embroidery by Dah John
A Heart of Compassion—Hand Embroidery by Dah John
This piece from our collection “A Heart of Compassion” was inspired by a poem, written by a Stitch Buffalo volunteer and inspired by her time with artisans from the Refugee Women’s Workshop. Each piece includes a copy of the poem, tucked inside the reverse of the frame. It’s a perfect gift for anyone with a heart full of love.

We receive each other
In mindful listening.
