Renowned quilter Gwen Marston is a professional fiber artist, author, and teacher who has been exhibiting her groundbreaking work nationally and internationally for more than three decades.

"If you haven't met Gwen Marston, the first thing you need to know is she's a great artist with a wonderful sense of humor. She's also a pioneer in the world of quilts, but she's very down-to-earth despite all her success. She draws inspiration from old quilts but doesn't really reproduce them. Everything she does is absolutely her own creation."

--These are the words of Bill Volckening, award-winning photographer, blogger, quiltmaker, and quilt collector.

This is such a great book. Inspiring and educational

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is such a great book . Inspiring and educational . Many of the quilts are not technically difficult, so this book has you thinking abut design and (gasp) I looked paintings for illustrations of her ideas . This approach with clarity and simplicity rather than trying to maze the viewer with your embellishment or tertiary designs is great. For me its back to why I love quilts . They are only truly appreciated up close and personal where the color and the wave and texture of the fabric and the texture of the quilting can all be appreciated .Her quilting is , of course , fabulous , and the pictures don't do the real quilts justice .S

. The directions and explanations are clear . t really is "design within reach" to use what I hope is not a trademarked phrase. I see echoes of her work and influence in so may modern quilters - the negative space , the beautiful quilting of that negative space , the clean lines and the conscious rejection of machine like perfection . You go Gwen .

Quintessential Gwen!

Gwen Marston is a true treasure to the quilting world. She is a fountain of knowledge regarding quilts both old and new and the techniques used to make them. I have taken several classes from her and have found her to be both extremely knowledgeable and a pure delight to be with. Her quilting books are the ONLY ones I read word-for-word. They're like having a wonderful conversation with her and there's always some of her extremely dry, hysterical wit sneeking in here and there. Here she pares quilting down to its bare minimum and shares beautiful examples of her own and some of her students'/friends' work. Very inspiring!!!

GWEN MARSTON HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK w THIS ONE!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

I've just received this book and have only briefly perused it but omygoodness, it is THE Best, MOST gorgeous 'modern' quilting book I've had the good fortune to view! The quilts in here are like few others out there, imo.
She is probably my top, most favorite fibre artist/master quilter/instructor/author because she makes fantastic choices. From her clarity and ease w the written word to the quilts chosen for the book to the quilting, this book is a must have for both your collection and as a gift for a friend's.

I am extremely disappointed w amazon's packaging - the spine was damaged because it was sent merely in a thin bubble envelope. It should be packaged w more firm materials (i.e., a cardboard book mailer) because it is, after all, a gem of a book!

Wonderful Book!

I've only just begun to read through this book, but it is a beautiful book. I love Gwen Marston's work and have taken a class with her. She is a wonderful teacher. Her examples in the book are very good. The photos are clear. If you like Gwen Marston's style you will be happy with this book. If you are unfamiliar with her work, it is very improvisational and free-form. This is not a pattern book.

Marston very productive and innovative

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2014

Marston keeps hand-quilting alive. From her classic 'Quilting with Style' in 1993 (which I bought once, gave it away, bought it again) through to this book, 'Minimal Quiltmaking' she presents great design in both patchwork and quilting. The photography is excellent, especially the detail shots.

Thank you, Gwen, for all the hand quilting designs I adapted to my BigStitching (hand quilting using pearl cotton).

Much needed book for a quilter interested in modern quilting.

Reviewed in Canada on February 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

It is not just a pattern book, it gives an insight into the process of designing your own quilt. Too bad the author has passed away. I would have loved meeting her in person in one of her classes.
