Hello All! It's that time again. We haven't had a giveaway in a little while so I felt that we really should do something about that. So hopefully you've been following along and know why I'm doing a giveaway of scraps (from Hawthorne Threads!). What? You don't? Well then go check out the previous post on my Bottled Rainbow Quilt that I'm making as part of Rachel's/Stitched in Color's quilt along!
I know that a lot of people want to make this quilt but some people have had concerns about having enough scraps. I wish you all lived nearby because I would just invite you to come over and take some of mine! But since that is not the case, I'm doing what I can. Having a scrap giveaway.
Now the reality of "scraps" from Hawthorne Threads...first of all, they are all yummy because every fabric they have is yummy. And secondly, they are much more than small square pieces of fabric. These scraps easily can reach an 1/8th of a yard. So you will have some for another project as well. If you have not heard of Hawthorne Threads (shame on you! lol) then you should definitely check out their store to see all the luscious fabrics they have. You will also be interested to know that they have scrap packs in "cool", "warm", and "fresh" colorways. So you can try to figure out what colors you are missing and pick up one of those!
So, what do you need to do in order to get these yummy scraps?
1. Leave a comment about rainbows...anything about them. I just love rainbows. ;) (hey! that could be YOUR comment. lol)
2. Add my blog to your side bar on your blog (I am always forgetting to update this and I like it when giveaways do this because I can decide whether or not I like them enough to add to my sidebar. lol. Hopefully you all like me.)
3. Blog about Rachel's Quilt along and link to HER site in your post. (she doesn't know that I'm doing this!)
Good luck to everyone!
My six year old daughter is totally into rainbows right now. It has been raining a lot lately in northern California so she is having lots of chances to look for real rainbows.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters are always making rainbows at their daycare. I get at least one a day.
ReplyDeleteI have a cute painting of a rainbow in my office that my son made for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. I could use some scraps!
For years, my aunt through that rainbows were like unicorns, just a made up thing. It wasn't until she was in her 40s that she was with my mom and she finally saw her first rainbow. All this time she would gently tease my mom for "believing in" rainbows.
ReplyDeleteSince I moved to the mountains I have a new appreciation for rainbows. They are beautiful when the disappear behind a rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI love Hawthorne Threads! They have a rainbow (see what I did there?) of beautiful fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteYou are already on my bloglist silly!!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are a wonderful reminder of what God is willing to do to show me He loves me!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are the best part of rain showers!!! :) I love to look for them!!!

Rainbows - love them! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also doing bottled rainbows and need more scraps! Rainbows are about the quickest way to bring a little awe back into my life.
ReplyDeleteYou're now on my blogroll on my sidebar! http://quiltyascharged.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteSneaky, sneaky! I mentioned Rachel's Quilt Along on my blog: http://quiltyascharged.blogspot.com/2011/03/quilt-along-at-stitched-in-color.html
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a rainbow for ages... not since I've moved country :( Maybe they don't have them here!!!
ReplyDeletei love rainbows too. my favorite are the ever so elusive double rainbows, and with a full arch. but i'll take whatever God gives us.
ReplyDeleteWanna hear a great story about rainbows? We had a Halloween costume party for my daughter's 5th birthday. We were outside and just as the party ended, there was a brief shower and a double rainbow formed over our barn. Everyone said that it was just for her!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're already on my sidebar! Thanks for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeleteRainbows make me smile!
ReplyDeleteAnd you've been in my sidebar for a while now! Thanks for the chances to win!!
ReplyDeleteI love when rainbows appear in the sky - it always makes my day!

ROY G BIV...I love rainbows :)
ReplyDeleteWhen my middle son was about three we had a brilliant rainbow outside after a storm and we all went out to look. Jason was terrified and ran back into the house crying, "no rainbow, no rainbow." We tease him about this everytime there is a rainbow ... and therefore he HATES rainbows. They always make me smile though :)
ReplyDeleteYou've been on my sidebar forever. Don't you get a ton of traffic from it?? Hee Hee. Just kidding!! Most ridiculously small blog on the internet.
ReplyDeleteWould that I were a millionaire I'd have rainbows everywhere!
ReplyDeleteWell, I love rainbows - but looking at my stash, you'd never know it! I'm seriously lacking in the purple department ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're already in my sidebar :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I actually blogged about my progress on Bottled Rainbows on my blog today, with a link back to Rachel, too :)
ReplyDeletehttp://dontcallmebetsy.blogspot.com/2011/03/wip-wednesday-19.html
Angela, you are such a dear! But, don't let me win those scraps, K? I've got to keep my head above the waters of my scraps, so that I don't loose my nerve to cut into fresh yardage!
ReplyDeleteI'm also working on the bottled rainbows, and have always loved rainbows, let's hope my husband likes them as much as I do, because this quilt is going on a bed!
ReplyDeleteDon't have a blog up and running, but double rainbows are one of the coolest things nature has to show us. The quilted rainbow is incredibly cool, but I have no where near enough scraps as a new quilted to start one yet, it's bookmarked for the future though.
ReplyDeleteRainbows - they are great. Know what's better - watching your little girl (or boy) discover how wonderful they are. It'll make them wonderful all over again.
ReplyDeletethanks for the give away
I have already blogged about the Quilt-Along and have several links back to Rachel's site!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.marcigirldesigns.com/1/post/2011/03/bottled-rainbows-ticker-tape-quilt-along.html
This was a really sweet giveaway option that you are doing for her!
I'm not working on Bottled Rainbows yet. But only because I'm still waiting on some of my Kona cottons. And you have been in blogroll for a while now! And Hawthorne Threads rocks!
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows. They remind me of God's faithfulness! Thanks for the lovely give away!
ReplyDeleteI have a really hard time telling my son what my favorite color is so normally I reply to the question with "I love the color RAINBOW!" and he thinks it hilarious =)
ReplyDeleteI used to love seeing rainbows while playing in the hose as a kid. I considered them fake, as I made them.
ReplyDeleteThe best rainbows are rainbow trout! Yum :)
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt blocks so far...beautiful rainbow colors :-)
ReplyDeleteI blogged about Rachel's quilt along last week...does that count? :-)
ReplyDeleteThere are never enough rainbows, and now I'm finding there are never enough rainbow scraps! When I decided to do the bottled rainbow quilt along I had NO scraps! NONE. I am slowly gathering a few here and there with the help of Etsy and some swapping, but I still have a long ways to go! Your blog is now on my blog list and I already have blogged many times about the quilt along and have a button to it in my sidebar :)
ReplyDeleteI live in a super rainy and sunny place, so we get awesome rainbows all of the time. I LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteI need more scraps like I need a hole in the head....
but you make these scraps sound so much better than mine
Whenever it rains...we look for the rainbows.. the colors are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA rainbow is a promise! The promise can be whatever you want it to be! Love them!
ReplyDeleteI have had you on my sidebar for some time now!
ReplyDeleteWell, about the rainbows... I love to watch them after a rain in a warm sunny day!
ReplyDeleteI blogged about Rachel's Quilt Along last week here at:
ReplyDeletehttp://coffeebeansdailies.blogspot.com/2011/03/bottled-rainbow-quilt-long-oh-god.html
There is so much excitement regarding this project but no one has commented on my blog.? I can't wait to get my Kona's from the States!
It's a grey, rainy day here...sure would be nice if a rainbow came out later.
ReplyDeleteI am so intrigued by the Bottled Rainbows QA. I would love to participate but don't have the solids to do it and am not "allowed" to buy more fabric for the next 6 months. Winning doesn't count however.;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I LOOOOOVE rainbows!
When my daughter was in Kindergarden, she did a science fair project on rainbows and even won a ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
I would really like to see rainbows right now.....rather than thunder and lightning during a snow storm!
ReplyDeleteYou've been on my sidebar for a few months (I did the fabric diet and finally bought fabric for the first time this year on March 13th).
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the giveaway.
I have been seeing your bottle rainbow progress and would so love to try something like this although the joining all the quilt as you go squares kinda scares me!
ReplyDeleteRainbow comment? When I was 11 I was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz in the School play and people who saw the production still comment on it and associate me with key things from the play - like...Rainbows
Rainbows are God's promise that He will never flood the entire earth again.
ReplyDeleteYou are already on my blog roll :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I've added you to my sidebar.
ReplyDeleteI have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth...Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Genesis 9:13-15
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
I love the song Rainbow Connection!
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows! I saw one the other day while I was driving in PA. It was sunny where I was but it must have been raining over the hills :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is already on my sidebar.

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a rainbow in a while. Maybe once spring really gets going...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see a rainbow, because that means it'll be raining and not snowing!!!
ReplyDeleteRainbows smainbows, I just want a Hawthorne scrap pack!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I kindda like rainbows. Just like scrap packs better.
When I was younger( in my teens lol.) I was an active member of Greenpeace and their symbol is a rainbow...I had it sewn to the sleve of my jacket and evrytime I looked at it, it reminded me to all of earth mysteries and possibilities ...
ReplyDeleteI give you the DOuble Rainbow video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI

I've rediscovered rainbows since I've had kids - they LOVE finding them in the sky. But I also adore rainbow quilts. I'm working on my colour wheel quilt...
ReplyDeleteRainbows make me happy- and it's nice to know that the "rain" in life has a purpose- to make beautiful rainbows :)

Rainbows are representative of the seven principles of co-operation. This from the librarian at the Centre for the Study of Co-operatives, where there are rainbows everywhere!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid my favourite tv programme was called 'Rainbow'. It featured puppets called Bungle, George and Zippy.
ReplyDelete"Paint the whole world with a rainbow!"
Thanks for the giveaway of scrappy loveliness :)
I love rainbows...I lost both of my parents at the same time in a car accident....after their funeral, we saw a double rainbow...God's promise that all will be well.

ReplyDeleteA rainbow appeared during my daughter's first birthday party. We took pictures and I'll always think of what a miracle she is when I see a rainbow.
ReplyDeleteRainbows always make me smile.

ReplyDeletebonnieangel1797@gmail.com
One of my favorite memories is of sitting on the side of the most lusciously green hill, with a view of mustard fields in full bloom intermixed with more fields of green and patches of woods, thinking that it couldn't be more beautiful, when I looked up and saw a double rainbow. [that was in Sembach Germany] I also love rainbows and would be thrilled to have some scraps fly my way!
ReplyDeleteI hv added this blog to the sidebar of my own blog!
ReplyDeleteI hv become a follower of this blog!
ReplyDeleteI teach kindergarten and I made a rainbow today with a little girl!
ReplyDeleteI love the hope rainbows bring to me.
ReplyDeleteDo I have a story about rainbows... it was only this past year that I discovered when there is a double rainbow, the second one has the colours in the reverse order! Isn't that awesome!!
ReplyDeletelast fall, when we were on our way to visit a country estate outside of the city, we saw a big beautiful rainbow across the country road we were on and knew then it was a good sign. turns out, it was! we ended up booking the place for our upcoming wedding in september!
ReplyDeleteIn 7th grade I had a one inch tile pin with my name and a rainbow hand painted on it. It was all the rage.
ReplyDeletePosted giveaway in my blog!
ReplyDeletehttp://babeswithballsofyarn.blogspot.com/2011/03/stitched-in-color-giveaway.html
When my son moved to Japan 5 years ago and I visited him, the first morning there was a double rainbow!
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful!
I cant wait for spring to see a rainbow. I love them they are beautiful..
ReplyDeleteAlso blogged about your giveaway and blog.
ReplyDeleteI thought rainbows were the best, most magical things when I was a little girl. I'd make a big to do and make everyone go outside and look at it.
ReplyDeleteI am behind. First off, your haircut is so cute! You look great. Secondly, love those blocks. I enjoyed studying each and every scrap of fabric you arranged in the just the right spot.
ReplyDeleteRegarding rainbows, a friend, who lives near San Francisco just moments ago posted on Facebook a photo of a double rainbow. She happened to see the rainbows outside her window and snapped a picture. The ethereal nature of rainbows makes them enchanting, I think.
I saw the most beautiful double rainbow on my way to work. So I stopped and took pictures. We dont get many here in AZ :)
ReplyDeleteRemember Rainbow Bright? Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have a crystal prism hanging in my bathroom window that makes pretty little rainbows every sunny morning, cheery way to start the day :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are always a pleasant surprise and a reminder that good comes after the tough things in life.
ReplyDeleteYou're on my blog list......most recent posts come to the top. You are definitely there!
ReplyDeleteThere's a rainbow in your blog header! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteDouble rainbow... :)
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows! Especially in quilts - I think because I love pure colour - and a rainbow has all the pure colours! Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love rain and rainbows:)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young I really believed you could follow the end of the rainbow and find the pot of gold. I tried to do it several times. No luck though :)
ReplyDeleteMy 3 year old drew her first rainbow yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I have recently had an old dog of ours cross over the rainbow bridge.
ReplyDeleteRainbows have always appeared at special times in my life - a sign of joy.
ReplyDeleteI love love love rainbows, and see them everywhere I go (figuratively, wish it was literally). One of my most recent quilts finished is like a rainbow quilt, the sky to the mountains to the water goes from reds, oranges, yellows to greens of the mountains and blues of the water... so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI've added you to my side bar blog roll. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I've blogged about the quilt along, I will have to give it a try I think, I love rainbows so much... we will see.
ReplyDeleteWe keep my grandniece after kindergarten. I was stitching the LMS Birdie Stitches block 3 -- a rainbow AND it was St. Patrick's week in her class AND she was wearing a t-shirt with a rainbow on it. So, she was full of "why" questions about rainbows- why couldn't she reach the end, did the leprchauns have a pot of gold, on and on. It was fun to whisper back and forth about rainbows and be a little kid too. Thanks for the opportunity to win a bottled rainbow of colors. alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is two and starting to draw rainbows. They are the prettiest I have ever seen. I saw in your profile you have a daughter too.
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows. Double rainbows too! and on one of the pictures I posted on my blog today, I have a bit of a rainbow. Not because of rain but I think I had some sort of bounce from the beautiful sunshines on the camera lense. Whatever... it is a sort of rainbow!
ReplyDeleteand you are already on my blog list. : )
ReplyDeleteRainbows always remind me of God's love and make me feel fresh and clean.
ReplyDeleteI have already added you to my sidebar and I've enjoyed keeping up with your blog. Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteI love your Bottled rainbows! I don't think there is anything better than a dark dark sky with a vivid double rainbow - takes my breath away every time! That scrap pack would take my breath away, too!
ReplyDeleteI do love rainbows! I always have. Anytime I see one it makes me smile. :)

ReplyDeleteWell, obviously I love rainbows...who doesn't?! I can also be a bit obsessive about organization, and ROYGBV is a common choice for me. I can't eat candy like Skittles or Smarties without sorting them first!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are dreamy :D
ReplyDeleteAdded you to my bloglist
ReplyDeleteLast week (St Patrick's Day) we ran home from school in the sun and rain, hunting for rainbows... too bad we didn't find one. My 5yo was quite sad we didn't see one.
ReplyDelete"Double Rainbow...across the sky...so amazing!"
ReplyDeleteI love how they are moving constantly, but always wish there really were a pot of gold at the end too!

ReplyDeleteOOOH I keep meaning to buy one of those scrap packs -- since the only RAINBOWS in my stash are my coveted AMH fabrics. I think I'd have to supplement my stash a bit if I were to take on the bottled rainbow project (but that hasn't stopped me from thinking about it!!)
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows and how lovely to win a rainbow of fabrics.

what an AWESOME giveaway!!! I am working on gathering some scraps so that I can do this fun quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou are already on my blog sidebar.....and of course I just blogged about the quilt
http://beckythackston.blogspot.com/2011/03/bottles-of-rainbows.html
And I can't wait to see our first rainbow this spring. We saw some BEAUTIFUL ones last spring
I have made four rainbow spectrum quilts and this is on my to-make list. I can't get enough of their color-spectrummy goodness!
ReplyDeleteI especially love a rainbow at the beach!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are all I can think about recently, rainbow pillows, rainbow quilts, rainbow bags...
ReplyDeleteOh rainbows! I love how OhFrannsons' Tokoyo Subway Quilt (which she just gave away as part of fund raising for Japan) has a rainbow of colors on it without being too "rainbow-ie".
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quilts I've made was a baby quilt that was called Rainbow Pinwheels...if you want to see pictures, look me up on flickr - emmac350 over there.
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows! I can never pick just one... or two... or three colors! I teach Kindergarten, so rainbows are a big part of life. The kids this year even eschewed my "lunch song" and now sing "the rainbow song" to kick off lunch every day!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are wonderful. I love the way the colors so beautifully change from one color to the another. Magic!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE rainbows and am so inspired by them. I'm in the process of finishing up a rainbow inspired postage stamp quilt and can't wait to have it done so I can cuddle under it.
ReplyDeleteYou're in my sidebar!

When I was little, most mornings Mom and I would sing, "Somewhere over the Rainbow," as she drove me to school.
ReplyDeletei definitely heart rainbows. they make me so happy.

In the old Nordic (Norse) mythology, the rainbow is called Bifrost and is the physical bridge between Midgaard (Middle earth) and Asgaard (Land of the Gods). It is guarded by the God Heimdal, who can see hundreds of miles and hear the grass grow and sleeps as light as a bird.
ReplyDeleteAnd in genreal, I just love them rainbows ;)
Have you seen the "double rainbow" guy on you tube?? OMG you'll bust a seam laughing at him!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, you're already in my side bar ;) yeay!!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember helping my children do a book report on rainbows. Did you know the colors always remain the same? And they have an acronym for the way the colors are portrayed. ROY G. BIV stands for the colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows too. We've lived here 23 years & during that time I've seen 4 DOUBLE rainbows over our treeline - those are really special!
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows especially double rainbows! The first double rainbow I saw was with my Grammy years ago. The second & third double rainbows I saw were after she passed and one was while I was visiting my Gramps cross-country and on our family land. The other one was one day when I was trying to make a really hard decision...the scientific part of me says they are all coincidences but the rest of me thinks they were sent from her!
ReplyDeleteYou are already on my sidebar!
ReplyDeleteI blogged about Rachel's quilt-a-long in Feb and added her button to my blog. I haven't blogged about it recently because I've not gotten started yet (I know, shameful!). I would love to win scraps! I didn't know Hawthorne Threads sells scraps...I will definitely be checking that out!
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows! I'm looking forward to seeing some again, once all the snow is gone and we actually get rain again! Thanks for a great giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteIn my life so far I have seen a rainbow in its entirety two times.
ReplyDeleteI'm a storm spotter and just love going out and observing all the wonders of nature, including the rainbows.
ReplyDeleteAfter every rainstorm, I look for the rainbow. Rainbows make me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm motivating to do my 2nd quilt ever - it MUST be a rainbow! Love me some Hawthorne Threads too!
ReplyDeleteOh to see a rainbow right now - in my world we still have mounds of snow on the ground - a rainbow means rain showers, spring, green grass, sunshine and flowers, oh to dream ... I have been following Rachel's posts and wishing I had the scraps to participate as I love all the finished blocks I've seen. I just found your blog and look forward to checking it out.
ReplyDeleteI was absolutely obsessed with using rainbow color order on everything from age 7 - 18. But, because I simply am incapable of doing anything in a regular way, I always insisted on starting with yellow and ending with green. Why? Because I like yellow.
ReplyDeleteOh, and when I get around to making my Bottled Rainbows quilt, I won't iron.
And I'm commenting a new way so I won't be No-reply. Hope it works!
Don't tell anyone, but took me awhile to figure out ROYGBV meant when I was in grade 9 science;)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for this giveaway!
When I was little we lived in Hawaii and I remember seeing double rainbows quite a lot. It just made that place seem all the more magical!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are purdy! I wish I had the solids & scraps to do the quiltalong...I will do it eventually. Rainbows will always be purdy so there's no time limit for me!
ReplyDeleteLove Hawthorne Threads too!
Our family use rainbows to send each other love. We got the idea from a book called rainbow kids. If we are separated for any reason, we think of the other person and send a rainbow of love from our heart to theirs. Makes us feel better when missing the ones we love.
ReplyDeleteI am a teacher and I love teaching about Rainbows to K and 1st graders especially when their rainbow isn't in the right order, but they still love it!
ReplyDeleteRainbows make me smile! If fact not to long ago on the NJ coast I saw a double rainbow. It was a happy day!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a Rainbow kind of day!!!
Oh, I've been thinking about making a rainbow quilt of some kind. It would be a good way to learn more about color.
ReplyDeleteI love scraps, and Hawthorne fabrics are all pretty. I use even the tiniest scraps; I don't buy much fabric so a new infusion of your scraps would be such fun. Thanks.
I just love rainbows, for real. : )
ReplyDeleteI ♥ rainbows, but I love that video of the guy that saw the double rainbow. It always makes me laugh :)
ReplyDelete
