About the "Paula Nadelstern: Patternista" Exhibit (Sponsored by Benartex and eQuilter.com): "Paula Nadelstern is a "Patternista" hardwired to see patterns everywhere. For over 35 years, she has filtered her design inspiration through a kaleidisscopic lens, resulting in a personal quilt idiom. Employing a technique that is counterintuitive to the conventional quilting process, she obscures the seams that join the intricate patchwork, encouraging an uninterrupted flow of design or color from one patch to the next and creating the illusion that there are no seams at all."
