The last rainbow in progress - Sulky 12wt cotton in pastel shades on denim-coloured quilting cotton.

Another work of art under construction. It is a beautiful set of designs and colours you have used Mable.

Wow! Can’t wait to see this finished! It’s so neat and pretty

A little more progress since then

It’s very different in “feel”, isn’t it?

A goodly update and more colour coming into it. Well Done Mabel.

Yes, I was hoping to show how the design could be interpreted in different ways but I'm rather surprised myself at just how different this one looks

Just off to the opticians to pick up my new everyday glasses, and purchase a pair of bifocals with embroidery bit at the bottom and normal, talk-to-people-and-glance-at-the-telly bit at the top. This rainbow is coming to be my trial piece for determining the strength of the lower bit.

One more band and the cloud to go - hoping to do all the French knots tonight

Was just thinking the same! Although I've never seen a rainbow against a blue sky, only clouds.

Oh how beautiful, and beautifully stitched, and yes, there is always hope, even if one cannot see it.

Well done Mabel.

And the final rainbow is complete

(The silver on Hope is sparklier in real life; photographs, huh!)

And here are all five together, more or less to scale. The largest is 14.5cm wide.

My goodness, they are all so so beautiful Mabel. And of course so beautifully stitched.

I love the sentiment and they are sure to raise the spirits of whoever receives one.
