Paula Nadelstern

Paula Nadelstern makes quilts on the same block in the Bronx in New York where she grew up. Her Kaleidoscope quilts merge magic with light, color and motion. Paula's books, Kaleidoscopes & Quilts and Snowflakes & Quilts were published by C&T Publishing. She is an author, teacher, quiltmaker and textile designer.
 She settled into full-time quiltmaking by way of the playground park bench. That's where city moms on hiatus from previous careers hung out and shared ideas--like organizing quilt novices into making a raffle quilt for a local cooperative nursery. One good quilt led to another and another. By the time she gave up her place on that bench to a new generation of moms, she had the expertise and repertoire for a comprehensive book on group quilts and was stitching her way toward a new career.
 Her goal is to harmoniously integrate the "idea" of a kaleidoscope with the techniques and materials of quiltmaking. Becoming a kaleidoscope aficionado has made her more adaptable and creative, both artistically and intellectually. The notion that there is no absolute, correct, best selection, that her fabric choices today will be different from ones made tomorrow, is very liberating to her. After all, a breathtaking collision of color in a 'scope will maneuver into something different, something slightly new, during even the instant it takes her to hand it to you.

Anthology by Paula Nadelstern Kaleidoscope Quilt Block Kit

"My soul is happy and my mind enthusiastically boggled by Anthology. The assemblage of multicolored kaleidoscopes from most of my previous collections play well together. The scopes, distinct without being dizzying, deliver everything I’ve figured out in the past 30 years about the unique qualities synonymous with the kaleidoscope personality. Surprise. Magic. Change. Chance. I've learned to manipulate physical properties like rhythm and line to inject a feeling of motion into an otherwise static image,"Paula Nadelstern. The colors include, turquoise. fuschia, green, yellow, and blue on a Black ground. The pattern is12351-99 color Multi by Paula Nadelstern for Benartex Fabrics.
