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.
Thanks for listening to the Quilt Fiction podcast! If you want more quilt fiction in your life, sign up for the Story Guild and get new audio stories in your inbox every week!
See you next month!
