So I wondered how we could celebrate Gwen's retirement and show her how much we appreciate her work and style of quilting, and hit upon this idea.
How about making a liberated block of your choosing and size. It could be a liberated star, a liberated tree, a small liberated solids block, anything!
Carol Vandenberg at Quilt as Desired is going to the Retreat in September and has kindly offered to take the blocks with her to present to Gwen. They have to with Carol by the 1st September.
If you are interested in participating leave me a comment and make sure I can contact you so I can send you Carol's address in Canada.
Perhaps you'd like to pass the word on too, though make sure your readers/Followers comment here so I can keep count of the blocks.
More soon.

Great idea! Any size or shall we try to make it easier on her to throw them all together? Oh wait, Gwen can do anything with anything! But still..any guidelines?

I would love to make a block for Gwen. She is one of my favourite persons. I was fortunate to go to her retreat when it was still on Beaver Island in 2007 after having met her at Sisters the previous year.
She is coming to New Zealand in July and will be staying with me 5 days before she teaches at the New Zealand Quilt Symposium. Lucky aren't I?
So can you please send me the address and I'll be happy to participate.
Oh yes "Mum's the Word" I'll keep quiet about this project

I'll be going to the retreat for two weeks (very lucky me) and will be happy to contribute a block.
Yes, count me in and thank you for organizing it. A great idea. I'm looking forward to BIQR Week 4!
