| "Red Square VI" by Gwen Marston, 2008 |
I was asked to review Gwen Marston's new "Abstract Quilts in Solids" class on iquilt.com.
It's great!
This is one of two classes taught by Gwen on iquilt.com. The other one is "Liberated Quiltmaking."

As many of you know, Gwen will retire from teaching next year.
But we can take these classes forever!
So, if you've always wanted to take a class from Gwen and you've never had the opportunity, here it is!

Here is my review of the "Abstract Quilts in Solids" class.
Wonderful! It's almost like Gwen is working with you personally in your own sewing room. In her characteristic warm, clear and sometimes humorous style, Gwen shows you many of her tricks to making lively and beautiful improvisational quilts. Beginners and advanced quilt makers will learn how to make their quilts more artistic, exciting and playful with "little experiments" that Gwen shows you how to do. She demonstrates how to "liberate" traditional blocks, add odd angles, and create curves with ease. She also talks about choosing colors and designing as you go. Excellent class! Thank you!
Here's an abstract quilt in solids that I made in 2011,
totally inspired by Gwen and her methods.

I need to check out the class info. Sounds so very interesting.
This is timely, with the Gwennie medallion in full swing. Good to know, thank you, LeeAnn!
I just signed up for the real thing at the AQS show in Chattannooga in September! it will cost a bit more than an online class ;)
This is exactly what I've been wishing for!
How I would like to do a class with Gwen. Maybe online is my best chance.
I haven't seen it yet, but I can only imagine how great it is. Gwen has inspired and trained SO many of us. Did you know she is having an exhibition Jan - March 2017 at La Conner? I also am excited to see her newest book.
great to know about these classes and Gwen Marston's upcoming LaConner show. I love your abstract quilt based on her class!
I have registered for both of Gwen's online iquilt classes - the liberated baskets/log cabins class is also very good. Taking a class with her has been on my bucket list for years and, I still can't believe it, but now I have two online classes AND I'm registered for an all day class with Gwen at AQS Chattanooga in September. SO very excited!!
How wonderful - online classes! I must look into this.
Great idea and opportunity, I agree.
Thanks for the pointer - I didn't know about these.
Aha, this is my chance!!! Thanks for posting and reviewing.

Gwen is a lifelong inspiration to so many including myself! Her quilts are so unique and wonderful. And I love yours in blue!
How brilliant that Gwen's teaching will continue through her classes!! Gwen really has a special magic and a generous heart and spirit that makes her a wonderful teacher.
