Mark your calendar for April 8th, June 9th, and August 18th for...
Cue the drumroll please...
The 2022 Threadventure Day Trip-A-Palooza
Three Fun-Filled Mini-Workshops Designed To Teach You Different Ways To Use Decorative Stitches And Threads On Your Needlepoint Projects.
Where are we going?!
I'm ever so glad you asked!
Each destination features ONE beautiful - and fun filled - location where I'll shine the spotlight on stitches and threads for a variety of key things that you might find if you were visiting in person.
From flowers and water to birds and sky (and oodles more in between), the stitch and thread suggestions included with each Mini-Threadventure Day Trip are perfect for a variety of different kinds of canvases that you may have in your stash.
Each day trip is pre-recorded for you so that you can stitch along at your own pace - and revisit our virtual adventure in stitches and threads as often as you want.
Our first virtual day-trip is to...
Washington, D.C.
On April 8th, we’ll have a picnic at the Tidal Basin under the cherry trees in our nation's capitol - wonderful Washington, D.C.
Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe
Then on June 9th, we’ll spend the day soaking up the sunshine and splashing in the pristine waters at Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe.
Cannon Beach, Oregon
And finally on August 18th, we’ll go hiking and check out the tide pools (and other wildlife!) at Cannon Beach, Oregon.
I'd love for you to join me on these 3 fun-filled
virtual day trips!

Meet Your Needlepoint Guide…
Hi there! I’m Ellen Johnson, a former needlework shop owner turned online needlepoint teacher. When I opened Serendipity Needleworks in 2003, I thought I knew everything there was to know about needlepoint.
Then I attended my first market. Boy-oh-boy was I ever W R O N G!!
After stumbling upon the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous pieces of needlepoint that I’d ever seen, I decided - right then and there - that I had to learn how to stitch like that, too.
So I bought some kits with stitch guides and the adventure began. After experiencing success with a variety of professionally written stitch guides, I decided to try my own hand at choosing stitches and threads for a project.
It. Was. AWFUL!! I’ll even go so far as to say that my first attempt at writing a stitch guide was downright hideous. (And no, I didn’t keep the canvas, although I should have. It would’ve been a terrific teaching prop. Teehee!)
Like so many stitchers, I couldn’t figure out the “how” behind the stitch and thread choices in those professionally written stitch guides.
So I was back to square one. And that’s when my stubborn streak kicked into high gear. Not being one who gives up easily, I dove in - head first - and started learning all that I could about using canvas embroidery stitches to embellish painted canvases.
I read every article and book I could get my hands on. I watched every single video I could find. And I took every class I could sign up for when Market rolled around. Heck, I even hosted guest teachers in my shop so I could learn from them alongside my customers.
And slowly, but surely, ideas began to form. Then concepts crystallized. I tested my theories on my own canvases and I was pleased with the results, so I shared my strategies with the students who took my classes at the shop - and they had success, too.
