Happy St Patricks Day – to all on the 17th.

May you always have…Walls for the wind.                                                                                                A roof for the rain. Tea (or a swift half or two) beside the fire. Laughter to cheer you. Those you love near you. And all your heart may desire.

I have a tiny bit of Irish blood in me, so I embrace it on St Patricks Day.

Here are a few Paper Quilts which embrace the Irish spirit. Four were commissioned to be patterns for the inaugural International Irish Quilt and Craft  Festival in 2012.
