See more photos and information.

The dark colors of the quilt, combined with yellow streaks, reminded me of a cool evening, in VA, watching the lightnin’ bugs…
I’m really thrilled to have my quilt, Reconciliation, featured on the cover of Storytelling Magazine’s current cover. The description inside says: Ellen Lindner uses fabric the way a painter used paint. Her collages are created with a variety of fabric pieces held together with stitching across the top.
