FREE PATTERN! - Did ye, aye? Cross stitch pattern

Hi guys! I've had a wee go at designing some cross stitch patterns and even have some for sale in my Etsy shop I've decided to give this one away for free because it's one of my favourite phrases especially when it's said with just a hint of sarcasm πŸ˜‚

If you stitch it up, then please send me a picture because I'd love to see your work!
