In This Fun Mini-Workshop, You Will...

Discover How To Evaluate Your Needlepoint Canvases

When you buy a new painted canvas (or pull one out of your stash), it can be hard to decide where to even begin. So during our time together, you'll find out why you need to start with the end in mind - BEFORE you choose your first stitch or thread! 

Explore Color, Thread, and Stitch Options 

Selecting threads for a needlepoint canvas can be really, really fun - or incredibly overwhelming.  When trying to decide on which kinds of threads to use, there are three important things to keep in mind.  After this workshop, you will have a better understanding of how the thread and color choices you make can bring your canvases to life!

Unlock Secrets To Matching Stitches With Threads  

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of canvas embroidery stitches, so if you have no idea where to start, don’t fret. I'll show you how you can incorporate texture, dimension, and movement into to your works of art. And in this mini-workshop, I’ll help you narrow your options and overcome that overwhelm! 

Hi there, I’m Ellen Johnson - a first grade school teacher turned needlepoint teacher and author.

Just as my grandmother taught me all she knew about needlepoint, I’m here to teach you everything I know. So we can keep this amazing art alive and well.

 
Over the past 25 years, I've had the honor of teaching hundreds of new and seasoned stitchers the ins and outs of needlepoint, so they can escape the “so many options” overwhelm and discover the true joy and relaxation of this timeless art.

Now more than ever, we are all craving creativity and connection. Needlepoint has been a way for me to achieve both of these, and I know it can for you, too. 

If you’ve been itching for a creative outlet ... 

for a hobby that is all your own and allows you to fully unwind and relax …

then I know you will find what you are looking for in this free workshop.

By the end of this workshop, you will be more confident about choosing the best stitches and threads for your needlepoint canvases so that you can create your very own stitch guides!

See you there!
