"Scrap Cities: Joyful, Modern, Architecture-Inspired Quilts"
featuring Cathy Perlmutter
Cathy Perlmutter is a quilter, designer, author, and teacher, with 30 years of quilting experience. She lives in Southern California and she will join our meeting via Zoom.
Cathy has made quilts inspired by New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and many fantasy lands. During the lecture, we’ll go on a whirlwind tour with photos of real buildings, and how they inspire fun, mostly pieced fabric versions.
About Cathy: A chance visit to a quilt show in 1991 plunged Cathy into this unexpected hobby. She started with Eleanor Burns’ “An Amish Quilt in a Day” book. She aspires to pay forward what Eleanor did for her and so many others – opening up a world of art-making that’s low on judgement and high on fun. She is living proof that even people who aren’t great at drawing can and do make wonderful quilts!
Cathy's quilts have been juried into national and global shows, including: Houston/IQA/IQF/International Quilt Festival (including two in their Tactile Architecture section); Road to California; QuiltCon; Mancuso shows. Two quilts have won awards in national shows. Her work has also been shown in museum venues, and she has had pieces traveling through museums in the US and abroad, in Studio Art Quilter’s Association shows.
Cathy's articles and/or her quilts have been featured in national and international quilt magazines and/or websites, including: Curated Quilts; Uppercase; SAQA Journal (Studio Art Quilt Associates); Quiltmania (No. 148); Machine Quilting Unlimited; Quilter's Newsletter Magazine; Uppercase; Traditional Quiltworks, The Quilt Life; The Quilt Show, and others.
