Wasilowski’s art work is inspired by stories of family, friends, and home. The whimsical wall pieces, created from fused fabrics, are hand-embroidered or machine quilted. Her free-form embroideries depict everyday objects, landscapes, and personal narratives. She has an undergraduate degree in Costuming from the College of St. Benedict, St. Joseph, MN and a Master of Art degree in Fiber from Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL. Laura is a Creative Spark instructor and author of Fusing Fun, Fuse-and-Tell Journal Quilts, Fanciful Stitches, Colorful Quilts, Joyful Stitching: Transform Fabric with Improvisational Embroidery, and Playful Free-Form Embroidery. Living in Elgin, Illinois, she tends her garden, cares for her family, and creates small ceramic sculptures when not stitching her colorful fabrics. Visit: https://laurawasilowski.com/
