Featured Artists
Quilts 2009 features works from internationally acclaimed featured visiting artists known for their works, writings, and workshops.
Laura Wasilowski is a textile artist, author, teacher, and creator of hand dyed fabrics and threads. 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. She is owner of ARTFABRIK. Laura combines “vivid fabrics and whimsical stories to make pictorial art quilts. My colorful, hand-dyed fabrics inspire me, as do stories of my family, friends, and home. These pieces often chronicle my life. Each wall piece I make is of my own design, of fused appliqué, and machine quilted.”

Fee: $45
Written appraisals are available for antique, newly made and art quilts by AQS Certified Appraiser of Quilted Textiles Dee Dadik and assistant Molly Butler. Quilts are appraised for insurance value (lost, stolen, or damaged), fair market value (for re-sale), or for donation value. Written appraisals are mailed within two weeks after research is completed and include a specific description of the quilt, assessment of condition, dollar value, photograph, and care instructions.
If the dating of and how to care for your quilt are the only questions you have, an oral evaluation may be more appropriate (no dollar value may be given) for a fee of $23.
Please contact Andrea @ 440-256-2154 for appointments. Appraisals are confidential.
