One highlight for me was this striking exhibit of Gwen Marston's small quilts. Stunning, stunning, stunning, and snapshots don't convey the glowing beauty of these pieces.
I was lucky enough to be around for Gerald Roy's gallery talk through Gwen Marston's "less is more" exhibit. He was such a good communicator and I came away with a greater appreciation for color theory, and a feeling of wanting to learn more.
My mental notes: Low contrast. Interesting texture created by the quilting. Solids. Study the color wheel! Less IS more.
Totally inspiring!
If you are making a Gwennie Inspired Medallion, tomorrow is the day we will share our CHILDHOOD borders and learn what the July theme will be! I will put the linky up here first thing in the morning. If you aren't caught up, no worries, just share what you have so far!

Gwen is a genius! I love everything she has ever done. Thanks for sharing the great photos.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt in the 3rd photo, G17, is amazing! It really feels like you are looking in through several successive windows. I am determined to get that same effect with mine. Maybe I should read the books, instead of just looking at the photos! Thanks for the inspiration, Cynthia!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to be able to take a class with Gwen in September . . . looking forward to the medallion link up.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Gwen's quilts ~ I was lucky to attend a one day class with Gwen here in Melbourne 2-3 years ago, it was so interesting hearing her thoughts & suggestions.
