I have it on good authority that Gwen has only a few copies left of the award winning book, 37 Sketches. I previously posted about how influential this book has been on my quilting practice and it is very artful in terms of the photography and narrative. No wonder it won a New York Book Award!
If you would like your own copy---write to Gwen at: P.O. Box 155, Beaver Island MI 49782
Include a check for $33.00 and let Gwen know if you want her to sign your book.
Most of you know that Gwen is retired now, and maybe I should say she is in the process of retiring much as she has followed a process in quilt making. She recently offered a lecture about Mary Schafer, and reflected that this was a full circle event. Her professional work seemed to begin and end with Mary Schafer.
The Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA is hosting an exhibition of the traveling collection of Mary's quilts contained in the Michigan State University Great Lakes Quilts Collection.

Gwen shared a story about Mary looking at one of Gwen's Liberated quilts and Mary exclaimed, "Oh I wish I could sew so crudely!" Mary said that with appreciation mind you.
