    About the Instructor

    Melissa Galbraith is the fiber artist behind MCreativeJ. She was born and raised in the desert of Washington state, where her mother instilled a love of making things by hand at an early age. Drawing on her love of nature, Melissa creates whimsical and modern embroidery patterns and kits. She loves sharing how anyone can embroider with her embroidery kits, patterns, and virtual workshops.

    Melissa was reintroduced to hand embroidery after finding her desk job monotonous and needing a creative outlet. She loves that embroidery allows her to play with texture and color and is also a portable craft. Along the way, many crafty minded makers also wanted to learn how to embroider too but were daunted by where to start. So Melissa began to share her embroidery knowledge.

    Melissa's embroidery kits and patterns make it easy to learn a new craft for makers of all skill levels. She loves seeing makers fall in love with the needle arts and seeing that magical ah-ha moment of learning something new.

    Overcrowded, Rushed Class

    The class had 18 people in it! Far too many to learn the delicate art of embroidery. For the price point, class should have been much smaller. Left not having learned, let alone mastered, the skills the class promised to teach.

    Great Class!

    This class was so much fun! I had never embroidered before so it was nice to be in a space where I could get extra help if I needed it, while still being a class that would be fun for any experience level. There was lots of laughter the whole time so it was a very enjoyable experience!
