This design was inspired by the beautiful modern stained glass windows of the LA SAGRADA FAMÍLIA. The way the sunlight poured through the glass creating a myriad of beautiful colours.

Worked in the round using woven cross stitch. You only work with one colour at a time and there is a detailed photo tutorial in the pattern, it’s a bit like working a cable stitch. there is also a youtube video here
