Drawing on her love of nature, Melissa creates whimsical and modern embroidery patterns and kits.

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 but were daunted by where to start.
