Custom
designed needlepoint house portraits
Whether it is a humble
cottage or a grand country estate, every house has its own
special look, its own personality. Any house that you have
loved living in is full of memories and deserves to be
commemorated in rich and subtle colours that only pure wool
yarn can provide.
Barbara
Bernard offers a needlepoint tapestry design service. Her
naive style is inspired by North American folk art and is
perfectly suited to the medium of needlework. Now you can own
a unique memento of a house you are leaving, a much-loved
childhood home, or simply a house you are proud of.
Text such
as a house name, family names, and dates can be worked into
the border to personalise it even further.
Barbara designs from
your photographs. (For information on taking photos for a
house portrait, click

The design
can be any size or shape to suit the style of house and can be
made up into a cushion for your sofa or framed to hang on the
wall. Prices start at £300 for a finished custom-designed
cushion measuring approximately 30cm (12") square. To
discuss a commission, please contact us.
House
portraits
can be ordered in kit form, for you to stitch yourself. For
