Christmas in July: Day 29 - Illuminated squares

Its day 29 of the Christmas in July freebies and that means there are only 2 more days left after today! Today's pattern is another of my beloved illuminated manuscript inspired patterns.

This one has a lot of Kreinik #4 Very Fine Braid in 002J and it's really worth all the stitching with it as the colours are glorious! I made a fob pattern with it some weeks ago and it looks like this before assembly:

It is as you can see very shiny and has a lovely texture to it.

You can find the pattern here

I'll see you tomorrow for the penultimate day!
