“Crotons” Receives Praise
My quilt Crotons was very well received at the recent “Florida in Fabric” exhibit. It even won viewers’ choice! My prize was several WONDERFUL books, CDs,etc. AND a one year membership to the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts. Love that!
Our local art editor, Pam Harbaugh, did an excellent job of covering the exhibit: four articles in two months. And my quilt was shown in three of them! This is what she said about Crotons:
But you can’t get any more beautiful and skillfully executed than Ellen Lindner’s “Crotons.” Rightfully hanging on the show’s title wall, it takes a vivid and keen look at something rather common – crotons. You’ll never look at one of those ubiquitious plants the same.
Gee-mi-nee! Can you say “adrenalin surge?” Of course, I love the praise, but I’m also excited about any publicity that features quilts as art.
Ellen Lindner
What a thrill, Ellen. It is exciting seeing art quilts get the respect that they deserve. Congrats on all the accolades.
It is a beautiful piece and I can see why it got viewers choice!
You should be proud!
I absolutely love your work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, everyone!
