You’ve Learned a Lot – Now You’re Ready for More!

YOU’VE TAKEN A FEW CLASSES. PRACTICED YOUR STITCHES.

BUILT UP A BEAUTIFUL STASH OF CANVASES AND THREADS.

NEEDLEPOINT HAS BECOME YOUR CREATIVE OUTLET AND YOU LOVE IT.

But lately, you’ve been craving more than just experimenting on your own.


You’re ready for real guidance.
The kind that gives you clarity, shortens the learning curve, and
helps you actually trust your decisions—
so you know you’re doing it right.

You’re seeking a place with guidance you can trust and a community that shares your love for needlepoint.


A space where you can ask questions, swap ideas, and get encouragement from
people who “get it”.

The kind of support where you can hold up your canvas and say…

  • “Is this the right stitch for my flower?”
  • “Does this thread look too bulky for the snowman’s scarf?”
  • “If I want to use a few sequins and beads, are there special sequins and beads to use on 13 mesh?”

And where your stitching friends will cheer you on,
share their tips, and laugh with you when your stitch count mysteriously goes off track.

When You Have the Right Resources and the Right People

Needlepoint becomes more joyful, more creative, and more connected. 

Less time flipping through stitch books. More time stitching.

“I refer to My Library all the time when “auditioning” stitches or looking for stitches for a particular category. It has been so helpful.”
- Diana C

You finally understand which stitches work for backgrounds.

“Having learned ghost stitching from Ellen made the background easy to stitch.”
- Susie R.

Try that tricky stitch you’ve been eyeing, and if it doesn’t turn out right, help is waiting.

"At some point in the video, some kind soul put the link to the video tutorial in the Stitcher’s Club… Voila!"
- Evan S. 

Discover new threads and learn how to pair them with different stitches.

“I have always struggled with how many strands to use on what size canvas and Team Ellen has figured this all out for us!”
- Keri L. 

From our complete stitch library and special technique classes to creative projects and a community that cheers you on,
you’ll find it all inside… 

A warm, welcoming online home where stitchers grow their skills, build creative confidence, and connect with fellow needlepoint lovers—at every stage of their journey.

Inside the Stitcher’s Club, our needlepointers are gaining confidence, creating
projects they’re proud of, and making new stitching friends.

“

I joined The Stitcher's Club because I was thrilled to find people who love needlepoint as much as I do!

I love learning about it, and doing it-and looking at and studying it. I'm so much happier and balanced when I make time for my stitching. May be a sappy sounding answer, but it is true, and this group gives me support and confidence to own it!!!

I know you’ll find a lot of support here and will learn new things every time you join a session.

I just brought out a project I gave up on a year ago  because it was too hard,  but now it is something I can do! It’s so satisfying to discover that I’ve actually learned and grown in creative ability by being in this club. I’m sure you will too, enjoy!

I am becoming more bold, thanks to you, Ellen

My Santa was a continental stitch, which I changed myself to show his bushy beard, fleece in the cuffs, etc, and a decorative border. I was very proud of myself! At The Stitcher's Club, I get everything I needed in one place. Thank you!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“

Only a few short months in The Stitcher's Club, and I just finished a canvas that I'm truly proud of.

 Before The Stitcher's Club, I would finish a project and be disappointed in how much money I had spent to just be unsure and not pleased with the final result, but super frustrated that I couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. For the FIRST time ever, my (first) project without a stitch guide that I'm happy with thread and stitch choices. I'm amazed at how much confidence I've gained in such a short time."

Meet your needlepoint guide

I’m Ellen Johnson

I’ve been stitching since I was a little girl sitting beside my Granny, and for the past 25+ years,
I’ve had the joy of helping others fall in love with needlepoint, too.

As a former first-grade teacher, needlework shop owner, and lifelong stitcher, I specialize in making needlepoint easy to understand – and even more fun to do.

I’ve taught thousands of stitchers how to choose the right stitches and threads for their canvases without all the overwhelm or second-guessing.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to expand your skills, I’m here to help you build confidence, create beautiful projects, and connect with a community that loves needlepoint as much as you do.

A little heart-to-heart

A Note Before You Decide

Needlepoint is more than a hobby – it’s your creative outlet, your “reset” button, and your favorite way to unwind.

But even when you love stitching, it’s easy to hit a wall.

Maybe you’re not sure which stitch to try next.

Maybe you’re ready to expand beyond the basics.

Or maybe you just want to feel confident that you’re doing it right.

That’s exactly why I created
The Stitcher’s Club

It’s a welcoming place where you can keep learning, get the guidance you need, and grow your skills with confidence—surrounded by stitchers who love needlepoint as much as you do.

So whether you’re here to refresh your skills, try new techniques, or simply make steady progress on projects you love…you’re in the right place.

And I’d be honored to welcome you inside.

With love and happy stitching,

XOXO

Ellen
