Hello There!
I'm Ellen Johnson, your very own personal needlepoint teacher and coach.
I'm here 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.
I want you to feel excited when you sit down to stitch - not frustrated!
This is why I created “Needlepoint Made Easy” - an online class dedicated to helping stitchers like you develop the essential skills you need to make all your projects look fabulous!
This class 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, but it doesn't have to be a frustrating one!
The rewards are great for those who dedicate time and energy to their craft. And when you invest in yourself, you quickly gain the skills (and confidence!) you need to create your very own spectacular hand-stitched heirloom treasures.
Needlepoint Made Easy is for you if you...
-
Want to create beautiful hand-stitched treasures with ease and enjoyment
-
Are a novice who is just starting out on your needlepoint adventure
-
Are a needlepointer who taught yourself (and maybe you have some bad habits to break?)
-
Are a stitcher who's been away from needlepoint for a few years and you need a refresher
-
Are 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 workshop 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.

You might be 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 attending Needlepoint Made Easy LIVE isn’t just about getting the information.
When you’re part of a guided learning experience like this, you have a real person — an expert teacher — to lead the way.
And when you get stuck, there's somebody there to 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 doesn't mean they’re really free — because the time you spend sorting through random tutorials is time you can never get back. 😳
And that doesn’t even take into consideration whether the person doing the demonstration is actually showing you the proper technique. (Sadly, I’ve seen a LOT of bad information passed along in “free” videos.)
Piecing things together on your own is never as effective as being guided from start to finish in the right order — and that’s exactly what we’ll do together at Needlepoint Made Easy LIVE.
So...What's the Investment?
