Meet Michelle Martin!

Michelle has been a self-taught crocheter for 20+ years. That's over 500,000+ stitches from washcloths to 8 feet stuffed dragons.

Crocheting has changed her life in many ways and here is one. Her grandson was born prematurely. She can't tell you how many premature hats and octopuses she donated for the babies inside the unit with her grandson. Hearing about the families and how blessed they felt in the time they were in....Well it just brought warmth to her. She was able to help out. Her skill gave her a purpose.

Crocheting is a form of art and talent that has been lost throughout the generations and Michelle is happy to be able to pass on her skill to another person in hopes that they can enjoy crafting something as much as she does. The pleasure and excitement you will have once you have completed an item is priceless. So, come join her for a fabulous weekend turning strings into things.
