When Whimsical Kingdom was first released, Catherine visited New England OESD dealerships to do signings and Meet-the-Artist events. If you're a retailer who would like Catherine to visit your shop, simply contact her!

Below, you'll find some photos from her "tour."

 

 

Janet Miller of Able Sewing held a contest in which participants creatively embroidered Catherine’s designs onto store-bought or hand-made items.
Catherine had the honor of judging the winner (shown below right) who won an Ott light.

Catherine sheepishly signs Janet’s jacket. The back is just as nice!

Stitches Unlimited

Jackie Lawton of Stitches Unlimited in Williamsburg, MA oversees one of her embroidery machines as it sews out Catherine's giraffe head design. A neat view of the Bernina in action.
