Events

I have been fortunate enough to get to attend a number of markets, classes, and retreats all over the country. Sometimes I go as “designer”, sometimes I go as “teacher”…but I always go as just me! It has been fun meeting stitchers – especially when I meet one of my Facebook & Instagram friends! I hope to see you soon!

Enjoy the Stitch,
Cathy
