I came up with the name KAT Embroidery and Designs after my husband bought my embroidery machine. I decided on the name for several reasons. 1. I like cats. 2. K for my daughter Kelsey. 3. A for my daughter Ashley. 3. T for my son Teddie. 4. KAT for Kim and Ted...we have been married for 26 years thus far. KAT E&D included my family, which is the world to me.
