The Delft House Sampler is a custom needlepoint sampler designed around a classic Georgian house and wreathed by blue flowers. There are two spaces for personalization, at the top and bottom of the piece.
I designed this as a modern take on a traditional 18th-century sampler, drawn in a blue-and-cream palette that nods to centuries of Delftware ceramics while feeling unmistakably current. Once stitched, the needlepoint can be framed as wall art or finished into a pillow. This sampler will become a true heirloom for any home.
Personalize your sampler. Each sampler includes customization of two text areas, at the top and bottom of the illustration. Our recommendations for what to put in each:
If you need more characters, we can create a smaller, custom font for an additional fee.
Make it totally unique. Swap the Georgian building for the house you actually live in (or the house you’re moving into), tuck in your dog or cat, weave in your local foliage, or request a custom family crest. We want your sampler be the perfect celebration of your family home.
Final custom pricing depends on the amount of illustration work involved. Email info@spider-spun.com for a quote.
A meaningful gift. A custom needlepoint sampler for the home you’re building, or the most thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift you can give.

Personalize the Design
If you love the design, but want to make a few changes, please reach out with your thoughts and ideas. For customizations, an additional fee will be estimated based on the illustration time required. Each custom design includes two rounds of revisions.
Over the years, we’ve taught countless beginners to stitch every single one of our canvases. That said, some projects are easier than others. You can find info about the skills needed for each project on the product page, right under the details about Dimensions and Materials.
We offer both printed and painted canvases. Almost all of our customers choose printed canvases because they’re more affordable (half the cost) and much faster to make (2-3 weeks vs. 8-12 weeks).
As with all things, there are trade-offs — printed canvases are not as precise as stitch-painted canvases — there may be areas where you have to make a creative call on stitch colors or design details.
If you’re a perfectionist, you may want to choose a hand-painted canvas. You can read more about how our canvases are made here.
If you love the design, but want to make a few changes (like adding in your pet), please reach out to info@spider-spun.com with your thoughts and ideas. For customizations, an additional fee will be added and based on the illustration time required. Learn more about customizations here.
We can make custom font and lettering styles. For this design, it will have to be a smaller alphabet. If you want something different than the standard fonts, you can add for an additional fee. Just reach out to us at info@spider-spun.com.
