I got to see Gwen's lovely applique quilt when she visited my guild in Georgia - and I took a class from her.<BR/><BR/>And as a quilt book author, I appreciate the comment about supporting us directly. The figures Gwen gave are true for all authors, not just quilting book ones. The numbers aren't huge. But you have to ask yourself why you are doing it. If you love what you do, it doesn't seem like work and you figure out a way to make a living at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-4393422828396276972009-02-18T10:26:00.000-05:002009-02-18T10:26:00.000-05:00Sounds like a totally incredible day!

I re read Mary Shaffer and her Quilts this past January and it really shows how truly dedicated Gwen Marston has always been to quilting and the best part, the people who have inspired her get extra special attention. Without her efforts, alot of quilt history would have been lost.

Quilters from all over the world are making wonky star blocks and sending them to me where my quilt club and I will assemble, stack and quilt them and send them on to victims of the Victoria (Australia) Bush Fires. I would love to let her know about it too...do you think I could call her or would that me strange. Last I checked she didn't have an email. <BR/><BR/>http://flickr.com/groups/bushfirequiltproject/<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>Tiathe Campfollowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342276701416619400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-13305607695732798542009-02-12T17:50:00.000-05:002009-02-12T17:50:00.000-05:00I'm so thrilled that you had such a wonderful time...I'm so thrilled that you had such a wonderful time.
