Happy St. Patrick's Day! From Ireland?

Some of you that follow my blog know about my trip to Ireland last Oct. Because of St. Patrick's day I thought I would revisit some of it. This is Mom and I in front of the ONLY quilt fabric store we could find in the whole country. We were there for a month and traveled all over the island. Here is some of the fabric I found.
I don't know if these pictures on your computer shows the metallic shine.

I don't know if I will ever use this fabric. It may just be some of my stash that is brought out to be admired then put away again. LOL



May the luck of the Irish be with ye!

We had our St. Patrick's day party at mom's yesterday. All the women made "green" crafts to exchange. My daughter did these plates. My mother did these trays. It has an Irish blessing embroidered on a beautiful batik then covered with plexi glass. Click on the picture to see more detail.

I did my fabric bowls I showed in a blog a couple of days ago.

I have been working on my new design wall. I am makeing this pieced letter wall quilt for my daughter. It is getting there. Still needs more work
