Designer: For over 25 years, John and Pat Henek have been the team behind the unique designs of Heartland House. Pat develops each design, stitches the prototype, and interacts with customers and vendors while John manages the marketing and advertising elements of the business.

Themes of Designs: Designs are based on museum collections, botanical prints, architectural masterpieces, tropical fish, national symbols, historic buildings, and endangered animal designs.
