Clara Haluska Fodor Linden, TN Quilter/Embroiderer Traditional Artist About the Artist As a young girl in her native Hungary, Clara Haluska Fodor remembers growing up with beautifully embroidered textiles. Years later, when she moved to the United States, Fodor continued many of the textile arts she knew as a child. As a tribute to her United States citizenship, she devoted much of her time and talent to depicting each of the fifty states. Utilizing appliqué, embroidery and quilting techniques, her work is both traditional and original.

What is mastery to Fodor? Fodor spent 1,500 to 2,000 hours embroidering each wall hanging. The satin stitches are so dense and uniform that the entire design appears to be pieced work, rather than embroidery.
