Miki takes Gwen Marston workshop: Liberated Medallions

Exciting start!  Another great workshop, sponsored by Two Thimbles, Bellingham, WA

Buffy takes a Gwen Marston Workshop on Small Quilts, 5/19/12

First, my favorite of Gwen's small quilts.

Second, Gwen and Buffy, with Buffy's small quilt.  Photographer, Nifty, says she sorry about the antler, but we were meeting in the Bellingham, WA, Elks Club.  My quilt was made from the scraps from the Carol Taylor workshop.  Still lots of scraps, of course.

Gwen had a list of the advantages of making small quilts.  To her list, I would add:  a good way to use batting scraps; and one can make just as many mistakes on a small quilt, moving one's learning curve along.

Dia de los Muertos Quilt by Em

This quilt top is just crammed with images and vignettes.  It's like reading a book to find all the stories and imaginative touches.
