​Customized family portraits to the specifications of a dream photo session - without the worry of tantrums, weather or wardrobe malfunctions. ​

Little Thistles provides unique, one of a kind family portraits in the timeless art of cross stitch. Working one on one with the designer, you can customize your portrait to specifications of a dream photo session, without the worry of tantrums, weather or wardrobe malfunctions. Outfits can be as casual or formal as you like, from favorite athletic teams to occupations, wedding day attire or even Christmas sweaters. The only limit is your creativity! They make wonderful, thoughtful gifts unlike anything else your friends and family have ever received. 

Excellent for baby announcements, engagement & wedding gifts, mother-in-laws or the chance to capture your family creatively. Pets are encouraged to be included and I strive to capture them as accurately as everyone else in the portrait. With over 27 years of cross stitching experience, I love doing this and I would love to make one for you!
