Hi

I haven't posted before, just browsing. I like the pp witch, she's cute. I am just putting on the binding on a small wall hanging, The Grim Ripper. Think I got it off LOQ. Anyway it goes with the season. I was using the thread I'd purchased from Connecting Threads, and whether it was just the spool or not, it kept shredding, and I wasn't using long pieces doing the binding either. Anyone else had that problem or am I alone in this problem? I also just finished a small hanging call…

HI Janet,
Thanks for reading some of my books and hope you can read them all on your Nook. I'm finishing a new book now and hope to have it out by December.
Thanks and have a good weekend.
Linda
Thanks, Janet. The little grab ball was a fun little project. I think I'll make another one to keep on hand.
I have a nephew in the Wichita area. He and his wife are expecting their second baby any day now. I need to get a baby quilt sent off to them.
Welcome Quilter Friend!
Just wanted to pop in to say “hello” and introduce myself. I’m Linda Hubalek, fellow quilter and author from Lindsborg, Kansas. Books about pioneer women are my specialty, with a cooking or a quilting theme mixed into each historical fiction series.
My Trail of Thread historical fiction book series, written in the form of letters sent back home, describes my ancestors’ wagon trail journey and homesteading in Kansas. Each book mentions twelve old-time quilt patterns, and I put drawings of them in the back of the books.
And my new book The Kansas Quilter will be out this fall. It’s about my great grandmother Kizzie Pieratt and the many quilts she made.
So if you like to read—besides quilting—please enjoy my blog and book excerpts on my website. Besides printed as paperbacks, my ten books are also available for your Kindle or Nook.
I have about a dozen quilts made by my great grandmother, (that we used all the time when I was a kid) so I’m into antique quilts and patterns. What kind of quilts and patterns do you like to work with?
Happy quilting and reading!
