Created for Project Quilting 16.1 Mythical Creatures
I have to say, this challenge was a challenge for me. (I guess that's what it should be, right?) Mythical Creatures? Not my wheelhouse. So, I did the smart thing and searched for mythical creatures. And I came across the leprechaun. I grew up a Donahoe and, although I was 1 of 13 children and my parents seldom left the farm, we always knew Dad would take Mom out to celebrate St. Patrick's Day every year. So a leprechaun seemed like a good inspiration for me. Leprechauns are said to bury pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. A workable inspiration and a great memory of when my family with Mom, Dad, all my siblings and the grandkids would spend a weekend at Joy Lake camping each summer. There was a year when we had a rain shower and a wonderful rainbow. The kids ran through the campground looking for the end of the rainbow and the pot of gold. Great memory! So, I made a rainbow. And put gold at the ends.
