These are incredible - they look far more like paintings than quilts. Thank you Elle.

I believe the tecnique uses photographs from which she then uses fabrics, but it is truly amazing.

I spent quite some time looking at her web site. She's a master at applique - and embellishing with paint. She's won quite a few well-deserved awards. How lucky you were to meet her and see so many of her quilts in person!

Unfortunately I didnīt actually meet her she had gone to take a class..... I didnīt know classes were on offer..darn it.... so I spoke with the spanish lady she had left in charge and she told me about her and she was selling pieces for the time she was away, just missed her. But this lady is going far, her pieces are for sale on her web sites so google her name and they are not expensive (at this moment in time)..Lenore Crawford.

Just for your interest, I donīt think you can see clearly in the picture but the tea bags were dyed with different colours of tea, I wish I could remember the name of the leaf she used, its a white almost opal affect petal from a flower that dries that way. it will come back to me LOL probably in the middle of the night

Is it the silver seed pod from 'Honesty' Lunaria, is it's Latin name Elle!
