About Cathy Perlmutter

"Quilting is a fun and forgiving entry to the world of artmaking, and should be a joyful, healing, learning, and soul-satisfying activity," says Cathy Perlmutter, who has been doing it for more than 30 years. During a career in journalism, in 1991, Cathy Perlmutter made an impulse visit to a quilt show. It astounded her; and she decided to give it a shot. Gradually, the hobby took over her life. Her quilts have won awards and been shown internationally; and her articles and tutorials have appeared in national publications, and on her gefiltequilt.com blog. She is the featured guest on episode 3406 of The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims (released in March, 2024). Her recent books include, "Modern Paper-Pieced Log Cabin Triangle Quilts;" and "Scrap Cities: Joyful Modern Architecture-Inspired Quilts." Find her patterns and books in her Etsy shop, at https://cathypstudio.etsy.com. Many of her quilts are on her website, at cathyperlmutter.com. You can find her Instagram account here!
