While taping Episode 1009: "Stamp Out Fabric" with Laura Wasilowski, a number of the TQS crew, namely, Alex, John, Ricky, Justin, and Lilo decided they needed to add some of Laura's quilts to their personal collections.  

Now it's your chance to own one of Laura's quilts as well.  TQS is giving away two of Laura's quilts (a $250 value) to TQS members.  The contest will begin April 27, 2012 and run through May 6, 2012. The winners will be announced in the May 8, 2012 Blog and Newsletter.

Here's a look at some of Laura's quilts that found their way to new homes. Note the exquisite embroidery stitches and the unexpected backs on some of the quilts.
