Barbara Russell Designs


  • Barbara Russell Designs is celebrating
    25 years of growing business by
    joining the internet.

  • The "it can be done" attitude of this shop caused it to open its doors in 1971, when three other thriving needlepoint shops already existed in the community of Chestnut Hill. Before many years went by, it was the sole survivor.

    Attention to the fine art quality of the designs and great customer service have been key to our focus.

    Besides carrying the handpainted needlepoint of the major American designers, the shop has its own line of needlepoint designs, which are now sold in shops across the United States.

    Pet portraits are a specialty of the business and can be done from photos of your animal. Our distinctive backgrounds give a classic, timeless look to your new heirloom needlepoint. Please email barbara@membrane.com for more information.
