Linda Halpin, Programs
 

Quilting has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I didn't grow up with quilts, sewing and other forms of needlearts were always present.  By the time I discovered quilting, I had plenty of supplies just waiting to become quilts.

Actively teaching quiltmaking across the United States and Canada for over 30 years, I have had seven quiltmaking books published, ranging from quilt history, three dimensional appliqué, and quilted clothing, to scrap quilts and patterns inspired by the Little House on the Prairie series.

I first became aware of WQI when I was invited to teach for them while I still lived in New York.  When we found we would be moving to Wisconsin, it was through WQI quilters that I located a realtor, a home, and of course, quilt guilds.  This is my second term as a Board Member of WQI.  I presently help with programming, contacting future teachers, and participating in the brainstorming to come up with ideas that will keep you as members as excited about quiltmaking as we Board Members are.
 

The enthusiasm and excitement generated by this great group of people is a joy to be a part of.  A native of New York State, I now lives in Boscobel, Wisconsin.  Visit my website at www.lindahalpin.com?
