A light in the quilting world went out this week when Gwen Marston passed away at her home on Beaver Island, Michigan.
Though I never got to take a workshop with Gwen -- let alone attend one of the legendary retreats at her home and studio on Beaver Island -- I did see her in person when she gave the program for the Village Quilters in 2014
Her liberated quilt designs are rooted in tradition, not always abstract, not yet modern -- and always an inspiration.
Gwen will be missed but not forgotten as hundreds of quilt makers incorporate her ideas into their work for years to come.
You said it better than I could in the brief minutes I had to dash something off this morning.
