This bright and bold portrait cross stitch pattern ‘Bright Collie Dog’ is a lovely, fun pattern for any Collie lover or dog lover.   Designed for 18ct aida, this pattern is flexible for you to choose your own cloth and have it be part of the image or to allow the image to pop.  The patterns provided are both with the black stitch detail and with all the black removed, so it can be stitched on a dark aida, giving the colours a chance to stand proud from the cloth.  This stitched portrait of a Collie dog would make a perfect gift, whether that be a celebration of owning and living with their bright and boisterous energy or possibly as a momento piece to a beloved friend.

The easy to following pattern is suitable for the new stitcher and fun for the more experienced hand! This is the first of a series of this style pattern I will be creating, the theme will be the same throughout the series that they will come in two styles and with the conversion to the smaller 22ct option.

The patterns provided have three sections, symbol over colour, symbol only and pattern tracker app pages, the thread chart is in DMC.  If you require a different thread brand, or prefer your pattern in a different layout, please use the ‘Bespoke’ option and let me know your preferences and I will do my best to create the pattern to match your stitching style.
