"CAN I REALLY MAKE THAT?" 

*you wonder, staring at that canvas that took your breath away…*

YES. YES, YOU CAN. And, my friend, I'd be tickled pink to show you how.

Inside the Stitch Guide Jumpstart, you'll learn how to think like an artist — and you’ll get a sneak peek at my framework for evaluating any canvas you want to stitch, so you can finally finish the projects you love most — with confidence!

Show Me How

Click here to snag all of this needlepoint goodness FOR JUST… $27

Together, in real time, you will…

01 Learn how to evaluate your canvases through the artist's eyes


So you can see where you can use decorative stitches to add texture, create movement, and develop dimension (instead of just hoping for the best and praying it works out).

 02 Master a simple system for choosing stitches that work together


So your canvas feels like a well-orchestrated symphony instead of a chaotic mess that makes you want to throw it across the room.

03 Walk away with a repeatable framework

You can use on any canvas (floral, geometric, holiday… you name it) now, or five years from now, when you're still adding to your stash (no judgment, we all do it 😉).

WELCOME TO YOUR SLICE OF NEEDLEPOINT PARADISE

If it's clarity, confidence, and finishing those beautiful canvases stashed in your closet that you're craving, you've wandered onto the right page. Sit a spell, pour yourself some tea, and let's talk needlepoint.

After 25+ years of teaching hundreds of stitchers just like you, I've refined the exact framework that works, even when you have no earthly idea where to begin, even when you think you're not "advanced enough," and even when you've got a pile of half-finished canvases collecting dust under your bed.

Those canvases aren't sitting there because you're not good enough.

They're sitting there because you don't have a plan.

And once you have a framework for creating that plan? Everything changes. The clouds part. The angels sing. You actually finish things — and love the way they turn out.

Stitch guides are still the most powerful tool for confident needlepointing — and once you learn the framework for creating them, you'll use it on every canvas you touch from here on out.

And in this era of endless Pinterest rabbit holes and overwhelming stitch book options that make your head spin faster than a top, having a system matters more than ever.

So the Stitch Guide Jumpstart exists to help you build a framework that works on any canvas you'll ever stitch, not just the one sitting in front of you, making you feel guilty right now.

Inside The Stitch Guide Jumpstart, You'll Get:

One Live Workshop
Where I teach you the complete framework for evaluating any canvas so that you can create a stitch guide that actually works (no smoke and mirrors, just real strategies you can use today).

Guided FunSheets (because "worksheets" sounds boring as dirt)
So you can follow along in real time and walk away with decisions made instead of more questions swirling around in your head.

Extended Q&A Time
Plenty of time built in at the end to get your specific questions answered—no rushing, no cutting you off, no "sorry we're out of time!" nonsense.

Access to Our Private Stitching Community on Circle
Where jumpstart stitchers share their work, ask questions, troubleshoot together, and support each other. Think of it as your built-in cheerleading squad who actually gets why you bought another canvas when you already have 47 stashed around the house.

A Framework That Works Forever
Once you learn this system, you can use it on every project you stitch from now until kingdom come.

The Stitch Guide Jumpstart Is Your First Step Into a Whole New Way of Stitching…

Think of it as the appetizer that makes you excited for the full meal!
In one focused session, you'll learn the framework that changes how you look at every canvas — and you'll walk away ready to start making confident stitch choices right away.

TWO SESSIONS. ONE FRAMEWORK. A LIFETIME OF CONFIDENT STITCHING.

You've been staring at those canvases long enough, my friend. It's time to finally have a plan — and the confidence to use it. Pick your session and let's get started.

 

THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

Join now for $27 and let's do this thing.

This is FOR YOU if:

 You have canvases you're afraid to start

Because you fell head over heels in love and bought them on a whim (or maybe three) — and now they're sitting in a bag in your closet while you work on "safer" projects that don't really make your heart sing.

 You have gotten stuck halfway through a project and want to cry

You hit a wall, panic about what stitch goes where, and suddenly that beautiful canvas ends up in the pile where dreams go to die.

 You flip through stitch books, feeling like you need a PhD

You're looking for answers but have no earthly idea how to choose stitches that work together… or where on God's green earth to even begin.

 You want to finish the canvases that made you fall in love with needlepoint in the first place

Not settle for another "safe" or "simple" design, but the real ones… the ones that make you catch your breath and deserve to be stitched beautifully.

For $27 (about the cost of a fancy coffee date with your stitching bestie!) the Stitch Guide Jumpstart will teach you the proven framework for evaluating any canvas so you can create a stitch guide with confidence.
