Cathy Miller and her husband John

Cathy Miller is a Canadian quilter and folksinger from Victoria, British Columbia. Since September 2000 she and her musician husband John have toured a program of songs, stories and quilts to guilds and quilting events across North America, Australia and New Zealand, the UK and Germany.

They have performed at over 650 quilting events for more than 55,000 quilters worldwide. These include appearances at the

International Quilt Festival in Houston
AQS Nashville Show
Quilt Canada
Quilters' Guild of the British Isles
European Patchwork
Ricky Tims' La Veta Colorado gallery
Eleanor Burns' Quilting retreat
Alex Anderson's now defunct TV program, "Simply Quilts". 

To date Cathy has released five CDs of songs about quilting. These songs range from the historical, through the poignant, to the drop-dead funny!  This program is sure to entertain and inspire both quilters and non-quilters alike.

If you want to hear some samples of Cathy's songs go to CD Baby, click on an album title, then on "Buy CD" (you don't actually buy it!) there will be a list of songs on that album, click on the arrow to the left of the title to hear a bit of the song.
Cathy also has a blog here where you can read about her travels and her teaching. Yes, she is a quilt teacher as well, see her quilts here, just click on the "quilting" link on the left.
I have heard Cathy sing several years ago at a Mayflower QG event and she was really good, it was a very enjoyable evening. We are very lucky to have her visit our Guild. Be sure and come!

In like a lamb?

Hopefully this photo of Pam W.'s Snowflake is the last we see of the white stuff for a while. According to the weather gurus, March came in like a lamb – nice and quiet. That might be true for the weather but certainly doesn't describe the level of activity in our Guild. Our activity level continues to stay more lion-like…

*A Note from our President

Hello Fellow Quilters, I hope all are safe and well while adapting to our new normal during Covid 19. From Facebook posts to chats, I see that many of you are using time to finish off UFO’s or to begin new projects. I already had plenty of time to quilt so I am not producing too much more than before…
