Hello there!

I'm Ellen Johnson, your Stitch Camp Director.

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!

The way I see it, 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!

And that, my friend, is why I've created Summer Stitch Camp! 

If you're ready to learn about all things decorative stitches and fancy threads - then this special event is perfect for you.

I've planned our day so that you'll get the foundation you need to begin taking on next-level projects with confidence... PLUS my workshops are just plain ole F-U-N, and you don't want to miss out on that, now do you? 😉

You see, I've been working with stitchers just like you for the past 30 years and what I know is this...

Becoming a confident needlepointer is a step-by-step process. The rewards are great for those who dedicate time and energy to mastering the fundamentals.

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.

Summer Stitch Camp is for you if...

  • You want to create beautiful hand-stitched treasures with ease and enjoyment.

  • You're ready for hands-on step-by-step instruction to take your needlepoint skills to the next level.

  • You want to learn more about stitch families and decorative stitches, but feel 'stuck' trying to figure it out on your own.

  • 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.

Join us under the digital stars for a summer camp experience that's all about stitches, threads, and endless creativity!
