Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

I'm not Irish, but I do love green!   Today seems like a good day to stitch with green, so I'll be adding leaves to the tree on my March heart design from PinkernPunkin.


I've also been working on another PinkernPunkin design called "Shamrock Blessings."  It's really appropriate for today!  After the letters are stitched, there is one more shamrock and then the word Blessings.  I changed up the shape a little bit because of the size of my piece of fabric.  It will be more square, and may not have the same border.  But it will definitely be stitched in green!  ☘️☘️☘️



Have a wonderful Sunday!

According to my DNA, I am 1/4 Irish! ☘️. I won’t be drinking any green beverages but will wear green and use some green thread for my cross stitch. Looks like another adorable sampler! Lovely stitch daffodil bouquet - this is such a pretty embroidery. Take care. Gail at the Cozy Quilter

Pretty projects! I forgot to buy a corned beef for today, so I have no idea what to cook for dinner, LOL!!

I have a tiny bit of Irish in me but I always forgot to wear the green! Never been into it

The daffodils are gorgeous and a wonderful March project! I love that green sampler - I want to run into my sewing room and start it right now!

Those daffodils are so sunny! I need to find a background for those hearts and trace the first 3 out and get started. Any fun 'irish' foods planned today?

Aw, such lovely stitching! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Nothing wrong with changing up a pattern to suit yourself. I'm sure Melisa would agree too. Very pretty coloring job on the Spring Heart design too. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!!

I love your embroidery. I had to save the "Shamrock Blessings" chart as I have very little St Patrick's Day items and I am a little bit Irish.

What's not to love about the colour green?? Your little heart embroidery is sweet. Those yellow daffodils are cheery and what a lovely job you've done with the yellow shading. The perfect pretty to stitch as spring knocks on your door.

I love those little stitch projects you are working on. Green seems to appear in many of my pieces.

You're coming right along on the daffodil cross stitch! My folks used to tell me we had Irish ancestry, but my DNA says it's Scottish instead!

I'm not Irish either, Scots and Snglish, plus a little Romany Gypsy. However, Robin has been told he has Northern Ireland ancestry, but not till we returned home from a trip to UK, including Ireland. Such a shame, he could have made some inquiries before he left, and maybe tracked down a rellie or his old family town.
