ABOUT LAURA FISHER Author and editor Fisher writes from time to time about collecting textiles and folk art. HOME SWEET HOME: The House in American Folk Art ( Rizzoli, 2001 ) examines architectural images in antique quilts, hooked rugs, needlework, paintings, furniture and folk art. Her first book QUILTS OF ILLUSION ( Hearst/Sterling Publishing, formerly Main Street Press 1988 ) discusses the optical illusion design impact of antique quilt patterns. AMERICA'S GLORIOUS QUILTS ( Harding and Duke, Hugh Lauter Levin, 1989 ) surveys quilt history. QUILTS 2004 ( Barnes & Noble ) features never-before-seen antique examples. In addition to articles and antiques showcased in design periodicals, Fisher has been a frequent guest on Martha Stewart Living TV and other programs such as Collective Intelligence ( Dish Network ), Special FX ( Fox Network ), Treasures In Your Attic ( House and Garden TV ). She has lectured at the American Folk Art Museum, Newark Museum, Cooper Hewitt Museum, New England Quilt Museum, Nippon Society and elsewhere, sharing her inventory and knowledge on a variety of collecting themes. Those interested in learning more about antique quilts can purchase a video of her appearance at the Appraisers Association of America from that organization.
