Full-Time Photographer Penny Linn | Rowayton, CT & Chelsea, NYC About Us Penny Linn Designs is a needlepoint company built on color, craft, and community. From our flagship in Rowayton, Connecticut to our newly opened shop in Chelsea, Manhattan, we design hand-painted canvases, host stitching classes and events, and connect a passionate community of needlepointers across the country.
