Your instructor, Melanie, learned to crochet at age seven, sparking a lifelong love of fiber arts. She began sewing clothing in eighth grade and completed her first quilt by the end of high school. She earned a B.S. in Clothing and Textiles, then went on to complete a Master’s in Textile Science—teaching herself to knit along the way. Today, she knits, crochets, creates “story” quilts, and is returning to garment sewing. She’s always happy to share her skills and love of craft with others.
