This is one of my favourite songs, especially the Eva Cassidy version.
But why am I talking about rainbows? Apart from being one of the most beautiful spectacles to behold in the sky they are also very popular in blogland at the minute (the patchwork version that is!).
I don't consider myself v.good at achieving the 'right' rainbow balance, made even harder with prints rather than solids in my opinion.
But here is my attempt at a rainbow hexie block.
I'm hoping Kara will accept this rainbow, without the pot of gold!!
So here it is:
 |
| The figure in the hanger is meant to be an angel - looks more like a planking Pilgrim Father to me! |
I've also made her a ring out of a crocheted flower (she loves chunky rings!)
and no birthday package is complete with out a silicone spatula! (you don't want to know!).
Enjoy your Sunday!
Love your rainbow block!
ReplyDeleteYour sister will love all her gifts - mine got sent a microwavable whisk this year x
Rainbow block is really fab! Your sis will be dead chuffed I'm sure :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your hexie and love the pressies. I'll not ask on the spatula, just be grateful it wasn't a baster I suppose ;o)
ReplyDeleteI think your rainbow is lovely and the presents for your sister are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am desperate to know about the spatula! I LOVE your rainbow hexagon - I am rubbish at rainbows but blame my stash. *g*
ReplyDeleteAbout over the rainbow. My Granny (some years ago) was talking about her funeral arrangements and mentioned she wanted "that song, you know, the one from the Wizard of Oz?" played. So I piped up "what, "Ding, Dong the witch is dead"?!?!?" which is now a favourite family story. God knows what other people think of me but me an' Granny are very close, she thought it was hilarious.
Wow, fabulous rainbow block.
ReplyDeleteI like your rainbow hexie block, I think that when Kara receives them all it will make a really lovely quilt. Spatula? Now we all want to know! Di xo
ReplyDeleteYes the rainbow blog made me smile...like all rainbows.
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow hexie is great! And I love the ring too. C'mon share the spatula story! :-)
ReplyDeleteSee what you mean about the Pilgrim Father - lol.
ReplyDeleteHave missed a few posts but hope to have a go at Pippi, she looks fun.
Have a msg for you here - http://bluepatchquilter.blogspot.com/2012/02/im-feeling-bit-blah.html
just gorgeous! did you make the metal part that the welcome sign hangs from also?
ReplyDeletelove your rainbow hexie
ReplyDeleteVery clever to make the crocheted rose into a ring. As always, lots of peeps will smile when they receive your beautiful makes.

Great hexy block Judith! Your sister's little hanging is cute - means you can feel at home when visiting!
ReplyDeleteYup, definitely a planking pilgrim father! Love the rainbow hexy! And I'm wondering why Hadley's sister needed/got a microwavable whisk!
ReplyDeleteOoo a lovely lovely saturated rainbow! and I love those sillicone kitchen utensils too (is that concerning?!) x
ReplyDeleteLovely work as always! A planking pilgrim made me giggle.
ReplyDeletelove the rainbow block and the gifts for your sister! I have a bright pink silicone spatula which I love exactly the same as thata one! x
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post in so many ways!! Starting out with Eva Cassidy's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow-- I have an acoustic version of hers on a lullaby CD that I played for both of my children that I adore myself (and will save for the grandchildren, down the line). Your rainbow hexie is wonderful-- as is your welcome banner and crochet flower for your Sis (and I also love silicone spatulas!!-- don't know your inside story, but I have at least 3 and use them on a daily basis). Looks like a lovely Sunday to me!
