About
the AuthorCathy Geier has a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in ArtHistory; she specifically studied 19th century landscapes in English and French art. Many of her quilts have been juried into national shows. Cathy enjoys lecturing and teaching her landscape quilt methods both regionally and nationally. She is married with three almost-grown children, and her husband's job with the Forest Service has led her family to some of the most scenic places in the country. Her quilts reflect her love of the forests, mountains and lakes around her.
