On September 4th 2012 there was a nice rainbow in the sky. I made this photo quickly trough my living-room window that day.
It was the day of the memorial service for my dear Simon.
When I had to sew and embroider the September block for my monthly page in my fabric book, I couldn't do anything else than embroider that rainbow on shirt fabrics.
Used shirts.
I also made a music line.
The music which was played when we left the church.
The lace butterflies are the symbol that life never ends.
My DH will be in my heart forever and his spirit will guide me in difficult hours.
The little glass beads are my tears.
They come often....
The lace flower was in the gift package from Nicky Lee.
The size of the block is 20x20 cm ( 8")
Now I shall start with the October block.

O Ati wat is je blok mooi geworden.
En die regenboog was er speciaal voor jou
dikke knuf joke
This is beautiful, and your writing brought tears, Ati. Blessings and hugs
Mooi dat je jezelf er weer toe kunt brengen om te borduren Ati....dat zal je rust geven....
Mooie woorden, mooi symbolisch blok.
Ati you are being so strong and courageous, I can tell how much your are missing your beloved, I will keep you on my prayers a while longer.
How lovely for the rainbow to appear the day of the memorial service certainly a message from your beloved along with God. Years ago in 1984 when we came out of the Church following my Dad`s funeral there was the most beautiful sunset, your rainbow reminded me of this and how it lifted my heart
Kjære Ati. Så nydelig både brodert og skrevet. Det var sangen som ble spilt i kirken også. Ha en fin kveld i det fine måneskinnet. Klem Ruth.
What a beautiful block, made even better by the story. Thank you for sharing.

Wat een mooi blok, bewonder je doorzettingsvermogen . Liefs Tiny
Een cadeautje deze regenboog bij de herdenking voor Simon! En een zeer toepasselijk blok!
Not an easy month for you Ati but your block is beautiful and you have sewn your love for your DH into it. My stepdaughter is including butterflies in her wedding preparations to bring her father closer to her. He died when she was 15 and loved butterflies.
Your block is beautiful and the story behind it is bittersweet. Love and hugs to you, dear Ati.
A wonderful block Ati made more special with the story.
Bonsoir ATi,it's a very beautiful block. J'aime tous les symboles associés à votre époux. Bravo pour votre force. Pensées amicales de Brigitte from France.
It's moving!! But I am glad you can stitch again now. Take care of yourself!
Dear Ati
What a most special gift that rainbow presented you with on the day of the memorial service for Simon. He will always now live on in your heart with butterflies, music and rainbows!
What a most special way for you to remember him through your sewing and patchwork.
Love and big warm hugs as you go through the days alone,

Groetjes Rosalien
