I'm excited to share that I'm taking MCreativeJ to Stitch Fest in Milwaukee, WI where I'll be teaching four hands-on workshops! You can join me on May 24th and 25th or sign up for classes throughout the entire festival.
Stitch Fest is a retreat and market that celebrate all things stitching. From hand embroidery to quilting, sewing to mending, and everything in between. If it has a needle or thread you'll probably find it there.
