Calling all nature lovers! From orangey, sand-swept desert dunes to tree-lined blue ridge mountains, capture your love of the great outdoors with an embroidered patch. Join fiber artist Melisa Galbraith of MCreativeJ in learning how to stitch a landscape patch. We’ll use the satin stitch, back stitch, reverse chain stitch, and the whip stitch to create iron-on patches that you can add to your go-to travel pack or favorite jean jacket.

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.
