Christmas Cactus, an art quilt by Ellen Lindner. AdventureQuilter.comChristmas Cactus, ©2021 Ellen Lindner
34h x 30w, $495

My Christmas cactus bloomed beautifully and I wanted to depict the bright, cascading blossoms. As I looked for a way to do this abstractly I realized I could represent the blossoms with a repeating sharp shape.

Cotton fabric and thread. Raw edge collage and machine quilting.
