Cathy Miller's 4 folk music CDs are vocal accompanied by guitar. Each CD include songs that are quilt themed and enjoyed by quilters worldwide. Cathy Miller sings lyrics of our collective quilt history, past and present. There is a mixture of moving tributes to incredible quilting projects, both quirky (a quilt made out of duck neck!) and heartwarming (teenagers making quilts to honor veterans of D-Day) that make us think outside our our own experiences, and funny songs that poke fun at everything from ugly quilts to shop hops.

Singer/songwriter Cathy Miller used to be a folk singer with a slightly jazzy bent, performing at folk festivals, clubs and house concerts all across Canada. Now, Cathy and her husband John Bunge travel the world, singing for quilting events, guild meetings and shows, and she is known as “The Singing Quilter”.
There were not many songs about quilting available when she first started this project back in 1991. She was hired to write music for a play about quilting when Quilt Canada was held in Ottawa, and, with playwright Peggy Sample, set about reading every quilting book in the library.
As part of her research, Cathy took a quilting class, and she was hooked. The stories and tales surrounding quilt history are fascinating, and tell a story of women’s lives that don’t often make it into the history books. Cathy delights in finding and writing songs about unusual and wonderful quilt stories, such as Australia’s “Rajah Quilt”, made by female convicts aboard a ship bound for Van Diemen’s Land in 1841.
