A Common Thread: A Collection of Quilts by Gwen Marston

This is a wonderful book about a really great quilter. The photos are great and it is just what need to start those creative ideas flowing.

I have taken classes from Gwen for over 25 years, yet the quilt on page 7 still blew me away. By the time I got to the last page I had dozens of inspirations for my next dozen quilts. Thank you Martingale for publishing this wonderful collection of the work by an amazing quilter and a wonderful person. Thank you Gwen for being such a great inspiration for me being true to my own style in quilting. I love drawing out what I want to do, love the challenge of figuring out how to do it, and the freedom to change my mind along the way is the best. The quality of this book is the highest and the photography is perfect. This quote from the book is what I aspire to: making quilts that are "unstudied, unpretentious, and more interesting, not to mention less stressful and more fun to make." The book is everything I thought it would be times five.

The vendors role in delivering the book in a timely and professionalmannet rates a 5 star rating. As for the book content I was not as satisfied.

Love her style using solid fabrics and improv settings.

Book arrived quickly. Very good condition. Was hoping to see some new quilts. There were a few that I had not seen but not many. Still a great source of inspiration.

Fabulous book, with some inspiring improv quilts in.

A beautiful book and I'm inspired.
