Welcome (freebie) from Sweetheart Tree

I didn't get this freebie online, but received it when I ordered from an ebay seller.
I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a freebie or if the seller just included it as a freebie from her.

Blackwork Noel


My version of the Blackwork Noel freebie from Glory Bee
stitched on 28 ct White Evenweave
(chart found here)
Stitched by Christine Darrah
My Changes to the pattern:
I rotated the chart a quarter turn, and then stitched the letters over 1
so they would fit with the new arrangement of the ornament.
I also stitched the entire ornament in red, instead of the recommended red/green
and only used one strand of thread instead of the recommended two.
