This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Off to School designed from a painting by Charles Burton Barber shows a little girl and her beloved Saint Bernard pet accompanying her on her walk to school. The dog is proudly holding the girl's umbrella in its mouth, and he clearly seems to be enjoying his duties to serve and protect. It appears to be a cloudy day and chilly as evidenced by the warm clothing the girl is dressed in. The colors in this pattern are beautiful from the somber blues and grays in the wooded area to the gorgeous sky in the background. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
