My good friend Laura Wasilowski has written the most charming and fanciful new book. It contains 11 fused projects for you to make and fanciful stitching for you to create on top of these small whimsical house quilts.
This is my interview with Laura in our booth in Paducah, April 2011.
If you leave a comment today, here on my blog, you will have a chance to receive a free copy of this book.

Thank you for profiling this book and its charming author in the video!
I am a new visitor to your blog -- via Laura's blog, via Annie Smith (simplearts.com) and her recent interview with Laura about this wonderful new book. I too am an "old" hand-embroiderer, but relatively new to dyeing my own fabric and thread. And I love the fact that Laura "works small" as I do -- always a challenge re: presenting pieces so they don't look like pretty placemats! LOL! I would love a copy of this book -- whether in paper or e-book format. Thanks for the opportunity!
I love laura's books - am a graduate of the Chicago school - would love to win a copy of her newest book.
I would love to win a copy of Laura's book! Thank you for the opportunity!
I would love to win this book! I enjoy the Chicago School of Fusing projects very much and am currently working on one from your book, Fun with Fusies. Thanks for the opportunity.
I enjoy your blog very much so, and may I say Ms. Laura, You are a true entertainer, presenter and educator. Thank you.
It looks like a fun book!
Reading Laura's blog has inspired me to create more art pieces, love the fun designs and beautiful dyed fabrics.

Never been here before, but have seen your work and also Laura W's...... YUM....color, color, color......and stitches...... I'm stuck in a wheelchair with a broken right heel bone right now, so it looks like hand stitching is my medium at the moment..... I want to win!!! thanks, Lisel
Laura seems like she'd be soooooo much fun to work with! I've just started adding some hand stitching to one of your patterns, Freida!

if you've had a chance to see my blog on tqs http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/myblog.php/customers_blog_id/12036/member_no/1069645 you'll know that i've been very very busy "investing" in fabrics on a recent trip to canada and the states - now i need lots of ideas of what i could do with them - believe that "Fanciful Stitches Colorful Quilts" would be just the right "tool" - first to drool over, enjoy and "digest" and then to work from
have a great day :o) lotti

You and Laura produce amazing work. I love it all.

I so enjoyed Laura's Tuesday blogs on The Quilt Show. And she does look lovely in front of all that fabulous thread. Thank you, Frieda, for this generouse offer.

I would love to win the book to give me ideas for using all the gorgeous hand-dyed yarn I just bought at their booth in Paducah!The colors are so pretty you almost hate to use them!
Loved the interview, but I wouldn't want a name like woodpecker head...good thing Laura has a good sense of humor!!:)
Her book looks so enticing. It's on my wish list!
Laura's work is so happy and whimsical. The specialty threads bring dimension to each piece. Her work makes me smile :)
I love Laura W. Thanks for the chance to win her book!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this book!
:-D eirdre
what a great blog hop is right! Maybe this will be the winner-looks like a great book to win.
This has been alot of fun. And thanks to all of you hostess for not making us jump through hoops. Laura is truly gifted. I hope I win one of the books. thanks.
Thanks for a chance to win!
Who wouldn't want to be at home with Laura's new book?No boring stuff here and no one should ever expect anything that Laura does to be anything but challenging and wonderful. She has a sense of humor in everything she does whether in her writing or speaking and even her doing.
I say the world would be better if we could all take Laura's approach. I am not discounting Frieda at all as she is very good, but it's Laura's sense of humor that will get you everytime.
Thanks for the comment opportunity. Love this new book, can't wait to get it.

I came over from Laura's blog..Woodpecker Head is a funny name for a friend in the morning. Your work she showed on Woodland was beautiful.
Thanks for the interview. Love her work and yours.
Laura's new book is full of fun projects and info. Love her use of embroidery stitches to make her little quilts just pop! This would be great to give to my friend who wants mine!
Laura's book would be wonderful to win and use -- as attempt to learn fusible web and the wonderful sttiching. Thanks for that opportunity.
Pick me for Laura's book! I enjoy both blogs!
The blog hop has been so much fun.
I'd love to win Laura's book.
Thank you for the chance.
Susan jdprkr@pacbell.net
I really really want to win that book! - keeping my fingers crossed makes it hard to quilt though!
This blog hop is a great idea. I'm enjoying reading everyone's blogs and getting a chance to win a copy of Laura's book. Hugs, Diane
I would love to win this book!

Thank you for posting this interview. You are both so inspiring!
Laura has spoken to my heart and my obsession of anything "house" with this book. It will inspire me to create a small quilt to go with my growing collection of ceramic houses.
