The Singing Quilter

This evening at Rainbow Quilters we were entertained by the Singing Quilter.....

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 500 quilting events for more than 50,000 quilters worldwide.
These include appearances at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, the AQS Nashville Show, Quilt Canada, the Quilters' Guild of the British Isles, Ricky Tims' La Veta Colorado gallery, Eleanor Burns' Quilting retreat, and on 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 was so entertaining and inspire both the quilters and non-quilters alike in the group.
 With songs covering a wide range of topics including, History, Traditions, Superstitions, Hiding fabric, Quilt Lore and Superhuman Achievements.
