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 here ).
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 £200 for a 23cm (9") square framed wall plaque ( see new top image ) or £300 for a finished custom-designed cushion measuring approximately 30cm (12") square.

House portraits can be ordered in kit form, for you to stitch yourself. For more information about kits, ( click here ).
