Collie Tapestry

The Collie Tapestry perfectly captures the beauty and poise of such a noble breed of dog and the complimentary coat colors are shown off to perfection against the soft mauve background.

The Collie Tapestry is another quality SEG of Paris design, featuring the beautiful, long coated Collie.

Canvas Size: 45cm x 60cm

Design is printed on Brown 100% Cotton Penelope Canvas

Made in France

Available as Canvas only or with the option of quality Anchor Tapestry Wool included (price includes a 5% discount on Tapestry wool)

** Quantities are approximate and refer to Half Cross Stitch**

Editors note: online Colors should only be used as a general guideline to allow for screen variances

Editors note:  If I was working this design, I think I would take full advantage of the Penelope canvas and use Petite point on the important features of the Collie, such as the nose, mouth/teeth details and especially the eye!!  I would also probably introduce a simple patterned background to break up the solid color – please note that the wool allowance included as an option does not include any of these suggestions.

The Collie Tapestry would also look lovely completed in either  or DMC or Anchor 6 Stranded Embroidery Cotton.

Editors Note: For a more modern look, experiment with a combination of threads and textures. Variegated threads can add interest as can metallic, rayon or silk threads for that added sheen and sparkle.  Using matching colors in different mediums lets you introduce texture into your work.
