About the Author: Linda Halpin
Linda Halpin was fortunate to grow up with a mom who does all kinds of needle arts. She began sewing doll clothes at the age of 6, graduating later to making all of her own clothing. By the time she discovered quilting years later, she had a healthy supply of scraps just waiting to become quilts. Combining that with her love of puzzles made quilting a natural. She is one of only a handful of instructors nationwide who have been certified by the Embroiderer’s Guild of America (EGA) as an Instructor in Quiltmaking.
In addition to teaching, she also enjoys writing, such as Patches of Time (RCW Publishing, 1991), Applique a LA Mode (RCW Publishing, 1992), and Scrap Bonanza II (RCW Publishing, 2000). Her seven quiltmaking books range from quilt history, three dimensional applique, and quilted clothing, to scrap quilts, and patterns inspired by the Little House on the Prairie books. She has also served as Chairman of both EGA’s National Master Craftsman Program for Quiltmaking and Teacher Certification Programs.
A native of New York State, southwest Wisconsin is now her home.
