What if you could learn how to plan, create, and execute your very own custom needlepoint stitch guides - all from a single step-by-step system? You could stop “thinking” about choosing your own stitches and threads... stop “talking” about choosing your own stitches and threads... and definitely stop feeling so overwhelmed. But instead, you can confidently and consistently execute one-of-a-kind stitch guides while developing your needlepoint skills. The Stitcher's Club is an ever-growing resource center of needlepoint knowledge. New step-by-step classes, how-to demonstrations, behind the scenes peeks, and special bonuses are added every month. (In fact, there's something new for you every single week!) All of the material is available on any device with an internet connection. Meet Ellen Johnson: Hi there! I'm Ellen Johnson, a needlepoint teacher and author dedicated to helping motivated - and, sometimes, overwhelmed - stitchers at every stage find exactly what they need to stitch with confidence. Whether you’re just dipping your toe into the needlepoint world or you’re ready to take your skills to the next level, I’ve fine-tuned a needlepoint experience just for you.
