Hello There!
I'm Ellen Johnson, your very own personal needlepoint teacher and coach.
I want to help you establish a rock solid foundation for your needlepoint hobby so you don’t spend more time ripping than you spend stitching!
Life is short and you should be able to make your projects look fabulous without a lot of fretting.

That's why I've created “Needlepoint Made Easy” - an online workshop dedicated to helping stitchers like you develop the essential skills you need - and take a look at fresh new ways to jazz up your canvases with beautiful threads and embellishments - and even some decorative stitches!
This workshop was created out of my own professional teaching experience and working with stitchers just like you for the past 30 years.
You see, what I realized was this...
Mastering needlepoint is a process and the rewards are great for those who dedicate time and energy to fill their creative well. When you invest in yourself, you quickly gain the skills (and confidence!) that you need to create your very own spectacular hand-stitched heirloom treasures.

You're a needlepointer who taught yourself (and maybe you have some bad habits to break?).
-
You're ready to stop making expensive mistakes - and start saving time AND money - so that you can get the absolute most enjoyment out of your needlepoint hobby.
DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A BETTER STITCHER?
If you answered "YES", then this class is the answer to your needlepoint prayers - because the best way to ensure that you’re going to stitch a project that you're proud of is to have enough needlepoint know-how to make good decisions. The odds of your project looking like what you envision in your mind's eye increase exponentially when you have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of needlepoint.

So you're probably thinking...
Can’t I just refer to one of my needlepoint books for all of this information?
In all honesty, I suppose you could. But here’s the thing... you can’t ask a book a question when you don’t understand the instructions.
You see, the value in joining a class like Needlepoint Made Easy isn’t just to get the information.
When you participate in a guided learning experience like this one, you have a real person - an expert teacher - to lead the way. And when you get stuck, there's somebody to ask for help. 😊
Can’t I find needlepoint videos for free on YouTube?
Yep - I'm sure you can find "free" videos all over the internet.
But just because they don't cost money to watch, you still need to consider how you'll pay because you will never get back your precious time that you spend sorting through all of those videos. 😳
And that doesn't even take into consideration whether or not you can trust that the person doing the demonstration is showing you the proper technique. (Sadly, I've seen a LOT of bad information passed along in "free" videos.)
