Lenore Crawford

Art Quilts through Fusing, Appliqueing, and Fabric Painting

November 14 - 17, 2009

All Levels

Lenore Crawford has discovered a fun and exciting way to make a fabric “painting” by combining fusing fabrics, raw edged appliqué and fabric paints.  Her Pont en Royans won Best Wall Quilt at the 2007 American Quilters’ Society Show in Nashville using these techniques and a photo she took in France while traveling there.  In this workshop you will create a beautiful wall hanging by using these techniques along with her direction and experience. 

We will get prepared for fusing by outlining the design on muslin and freezer paper.  Then you will fuse fabrics to the muslin, use fabric paints to add detail and depth to the design, and finally finish your art quilt by top-stitching the layers together.  The combination of these techniques allows the fabric artist to achieve a realistic scene in fabric in a very impressionistic style.
