The kaleidoscope configuration provides insight into the nature of symmetry and intricately printed fabrics. This class, based on my book: Paula Nadelstern’s KALEIDOSCOPE QUILTS: One Artist’s Journey Continues is both a process and product class. On Day 1, students learn all of the unique machine piecing and template techniques I use to create complex images by sewing a pattern called Needlestars.

The next days, students will work on their own
design(s), focusing on both color and fabric guidelines for creating the complex and mobile reflection of a kaleidoscope.

Paula NadelsternPaula's Biographical Information


Kaleidoscope: the very word promises surprise and magic, change and chance.

My quilts have been exhibited internationally, in solo exhibits mounted at the Museum of the American Quilters Society, at the Houston International Quilt Festival, and in Japan, as well as featured in television shows, online websites, books and magazines.

In 2009, the American Folk Art Museum honored me with the first one person exhibition highlighting the work of a contemporary quilt artist. One of my quilts was included in the “Twentieth Century’s 100 Best American Quilts” exhibit.

I travel extensively teaching the kaleidoscopic quiltmaking techniques and design concepts explored in my books: Kaleidoscopes & Quilts, Snowflakes & Quilts, Puzzle Quilts: Simple Blocks, Complex Fabric, and Kaleidoscope Quilts: One Artist’s Journey Continues. A recipient of fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Bronx Council on the Arts, I design textile prints exclusively for Benartex, Inc.
