in the Gwen Marston book, Abstract Quilts in Solids, that the first line is something like "This is a quilt book for grownups." I love that line, because she goes on to explain that the book does not have patterns, that it is for inspiration and that most people have simple quilt directions in a myriad of other books. Thank you, Gwen Marston!
With my birthday money from RBL, I bought [b:Mary Schafer American Quilt Maker|1143787|Mary Schafer, American Quilt Maker|Gwen Marston|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181377928s/1143787.jpg|1131231] by [a:Gwen Marston|63062|Gwen Marston|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg][. I have a number of Marston’s books and really enjoyed the workshop on book:Libertated Quiltmaking] I took from her a few years ago. The quilt I made as a result of the techniques I learned in show more the class can be seen on Artquiltmaker.com. The Mary Schafer book has nothing to do with Liberated Quiltmaking, however. It is a history type quilt book depicting the work and collections of Mary Schafer. The quilts are classic in style, though many of them have a twist, such as Grandmother’s Pride, 1980, pg. 111. I also like the pictures of Schafer’s templates, patterns, family photos as well as the numerous color photos of quilts scattered throughout the book. show less
As with her other books, she teaches you how to improve as an artist and a quilter. the book is loaded with color photos of her current work. Great book for all artists.
almost all plain fabrics/colours, occasional patterned fabric.
