I’m Catlou, the heart behind CatLou Designs—a Kentucky artist who has spent a lifetime creating with my hands. My love for sewing began years ago at my grandmother’s side, and over time it has grown into something much deeper.

Alongside sewing, I’ve always been drawn to painting and mixed media—finding beauty in textures, colors, and the stories they can tell. Whether I’m stitching a memory bear, piecing together a quilt, or working on a mixed media piece, my goal is the same: to create something meaningful.

Each piece I make is more than fabric or paint—it’s a memory, a feeling, a little piece of love you can hold onto. My faith guides my work, and I pray that what I create brings comfort, peace, and joy to others.
