Winter Botanical Embroidery Basics
About
Fiber artist Melissa Galbraith of MCreativeJ teaches satin, back, stem, French knot and lazy daisy stitches while you embroider winter greenery, using a kit with hoop, DMC thread, fabric, transfer designs and a hanging hook. The two-hour workshop runs 1–3pm Sunday at the Center for Urban Horticulture complex, 3501 NE 41st St (Metro routes 65 and 75). It costs $50, pre-registration is required and limited financial aid is offered.

New to textiles?
Textile classes range from weaving on a frame or rigid-heddle loom to embroidery, knitting, crochet, natural dyeing, felting and sewing a first garment.
- Check whether the class is for complete beginners or assumes you can already cast on or thread a machine.
- Single sessions usually make something small: a wall hanging, a hoop, a dyed scarf.
- Bring reading glasses if you use them; most fibre work is close-up.
Taking it home: Usually the same day. Larger pieces may be finished at home with the yarn or thread you leave with.
