Lenore Crawford's quilt, Emma in the Looking Glass, had us mesmerized. How was she able to use fabric to create such a realistic "reflection" in the quilt?

Emma in the Looking Glass won Outstanding Art Quilt at Road to California 2017.

Started in 2015, Finished in 2016-

Artist statement: My design was created using my raw edged fusing technique. I was inspired by photos I took of my friends' granddaughter searching for frogs in my mother's lily pond. I used a very tiny amount of fabric paint to add fine detail too small to fuse. Textural fabrics added to the detail created and some fabric was dyed while others were hand painted in the design.

This is textile art at its best. Magnificent. Some people just really have it.

Stunning! Would never have thought of doing this which definitely differentiates the fabric artist from a quilter. Congratulations on such a beautiful art piece in fabric.

this is a great example of why the quilting world is so fasinating. Lots of people out there think it is for old ladies who make old style quilts. They don't know what their missing. The little girl is so life like . You can feel a breeze and smell the flowers. Great job!
