Laura Wasilowski

 One of the benefits of attending the

Tucson Quilter Guild Quilt Show

was being able to drop in on 

free lectures by National Teachers.

* Bird and Ladybug

I really enjoyed the hilarious 30 minute presentation

So Many Chickens, So Little Time

by 

fiber artist

Laura Wasilowski

 What a fun lady!

Laura provided a delightful power point presentation

of her works

accompanied by song

that had us rolling in the aisles 

with laughter.

 Laura's theme of 

Diary of a Serial Quilter

spoke of

"Where one Chicken quilt will surely lead

to a second, third or fortieth"

yes, this woman is very prolific!

The pun that had me laughing the most was her

visit to the

Tomb of the Unknown Sewer

I never realized that a seamstress

 shared the same spelling

and is synonymous

with an underground conduit for waste material!

I can only tell you that I will

 never look at a manhole the same again!

 Samples of Laura's colorful and creative work

were passed around the room

where we could see up close

 beautiful hand dyed fabrics

and threads.

I'm normally not an art quilter, but after viewing Laura's work,

 I'm ready to run right out and buy her latest book

Fanciful Stitches Colorful Quilts

and play with whimsical fusibles and threads.

If you have a chance to attend one of Laura's presentations,

or to bring her into your guild,
I would highly recommend it!
