FREEBIE - Royal Guardsman

Design: Royal Guardsman

Chart: http://www.themakingspot.com/cross-stitch/pattern/quick-stitch-soldier

Fabric: White 14-ct Aida

Threads: DMC

This little guy is my first freebie of the year! He's a Royal Guardsman. He was originally offered as the cover freebie from the April 2011 edition of Cross Stitcher UK, but is offered for free download through The Making Spot. The only thing I changed was the background cover of the flag, as the original chart had it as the same pink as the face and hands of our little bloke, but given it should have been blue, I made it blue.

Enjoy!

My next freebie item is a needle set - scissor fob, needle book & pin cushion, called "Busy Bees". It's from www.xstitchhappy.com. I will upload photos as I get them done.
