friends in q group i am in here locally made mug rugs & doggy rugs lst winter. but they were on roclon treated fabric...sort of a collage type thing. i took it another direction and made placemats for grdaughters for xemas. cut out flowers/dinos/pumpkins etc ...turned out great...colorful...they loved them ...but hmmmm....a set of mug rugs for sons mil or my mil would be fun...course would be cool for all my other tea/coffee addicts too lollollol

hi katie...i didn't take part in the swap but had to ck out pics of yours. those are fantastic. confess i didn't know what a mug rug was...but hmmmm....all those flannel scraps from things for my grbabies....better than pillow backs...and maybe more fun. but yours are great!!!!

Hi, Katie.

Thanks,

Welcome Quilter Friend!

Just wanted to pop in to say “hello” and introduce myself. I’m Linda Hubalek, fellow quilter and author from 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.

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!

Linda Hubalek
