Free Dala Horse Embroidery Pattern

For my mom's birthday I made here a wall hanging using the Andrea Zuill's Heart, Birds & Flowers pattern.
Hearts & Flowers
She wanted another piece to go with it & I suggested a Dala (Swedish) Horse since she  has a Swedish theme going in her kitchen & dining room. I looked at lots of pictures of Dala Horses on line (as well the ones my mom had around her house) & came up with this.
Dala Horse
Since I couldn't find a pattern for this anywhere I thought I'd share this pattern with all of you.

I did it in red work but you can make it more traditional by adding blue, green & yellow to the trims. If anyone stitches this up I'd love to see it.

So simple and lovely! I have a Dala Horse that my great aunt Rose left me. I didn't know it was called "Dala" though.

we call them 'Dalina', I think that's what the folks in Upsaala said. You don't see them very often; way to go!
