About Me

Rittenhouse Needlepoint
Rittenhouse Needlepoint Main Site Rittenhouse Needlepoint was founded by Russell Palmer and Stephen Janick. Stephen started needlepointing 4 years ago. They had done lots of traveling and had seen needlepoint shops around the country so they knew what they wanted in a needlepoint store -- something fun and friendly, spacious and open, professional and devoted exclusively to needlepoint. In the fall of 2008 they decided to go for it and Rittenhouse Needlepoint is the result. Hope you can stop by and see the place. In the meanwhile, enjoy the blog!
