Another vintage story | ‘The Career of a Crazy Quilt’
There’s so much news and so many links, where do I even begin?
Let’s begin with this month’s giveaway. Our August sponsor is Quiltfolk magazine, and this month’s giveaway includes a one-year subscription to Quiltfolk and a beautiful coffee table book, Quiltfolk Life. Head over to the Quilt Fiction website to enter!
If you loved Friendship Album, 1933, I’m happy to announce that for a limited time, the audio podcast is on sale for $8.99! Curious, but not sure you’re ready to commit? Click this link and listen to the first five episodes for free!
In this month’s podcast, I’ll be reading a short story that originally appeared in the July 1884 issue of Godey’s Lady’s Book—“The Career of a Crazy Quilt.” If you’d like to read along, you can find the story in UNC’s Internet Archives. By the way, when I was editing the rest of the podcast, I realized that I refer several times to Godey’s Lady’s Magazine instead of Godey’s Lady Book. Whoops!
If you enjoy the Quilt Fiction podcast, I hope you’ll consider subscribing to the new and improved Quilt Fiction Club Newsletter, which comes out every Friday. Some Fridays you’ll get a short short quilting story in your inbox; other Fridays you’ll find a book review or some of my musings about quilts and quilt stories.
