"In retrospect, I was thinking why I was
so attracted to color, variety in needle work. In the long run,
I think I was always very creative but the poverty and misery of
my life during the Stalin years thwarted it. Once in the United
States, having a stable life, access to information, materials,
the nurturing environment of Ithaca, and meeting many wonderful,
kindred spirits, I was able to blossom out in my colorful embroideries
and other art work."
–Eniko Farkas
