We just signed up to do the April Quilt Dash.
If you have never participated in the Quilt Dash, it is a fun online shop hop. All the participating shops donate prizes to be won by the participants.
So pop over to their site to check it out.
Originally, I was hoping they would have a Quilt Dash in February- we wanted to give away one of our Lucky Seven patterns. This pattern is for a banner; you can make three sections individually and then use grommets and ribbon to string them together.Or you can just sew the blocks together and make one long banner. Banner is about 16" x 48".
It also makes a great table runner!
So...let's do a give away. We'll see if anyone is listening!
Leave me a comment on how you celebrate the holiday. Need a hint what holiday?
Green beer?
Corned beef?
Dancing a jig?
Years ago my daughter was an Irish dancer and would spend the a few days close to the holiday dancing at various Irish suppers with her school. Now she goes to listen to her boyfriend's Irish band and will still occasionally break out into a jig!
Comments will close next Saturday and I will draw a winner Sunday February 19th.
in the meantime...
Happy quilting
Kate
Green wine!
ReplyDeleteI know about green beer- I have not seen the green wine!
DeleteWe celebrate St. Paddy's day with corn beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, soda bread and don't forget the green bagels!
ReplyDeleteGreen bagels! I forgot about those!
DeleteIt's the one time of year I break down and make corned beef and cabbage for my husband. I can't stand the smell or the taste but my hubby loves it and I love him. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteI always feel bad saying I don't like corned beef and cabbage- my poor Irish relatives are hanging their heads in shame!
Irish stew and Guinness!! What else do you need?
ReplyDeleteAhh....Guinness! Good choice!
DeleteDecorate with a green tablecloth and wear green that day...maybe some type of green dessert, too.
ReplyDeleteMy green shirts are never the "real" green!
DeleteWe would find as many green foods as possible and put them in the kids lunches. Make green bread, green grapes and cookies. ANything we could find in the snack section that was green.
ReplyDeleteThat is just fun!
DeletePut the corned beef, potatoes & cabbage in the crockpot ... bake some irish soda bread ... find my greenest green shirt & enjoy! Thanks for the chance! :)
ReplyDeleteWearing a green shamrock that I've had for years! Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI war a green shamrock that was my mom's- Makes me feel like she is spending the day with me.
DeleteI have a small green plastic beer mug on a chain that I wear for the day. Incorporates wearing something green and green beer into one easy but not too chic accessory.
ReplyDeleteAnd a fun accessory!
DeleteHappy anniversary! I like the cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments! So much fun to see what everyone does to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteCorned Beef and Cabbage, definitely! Always have that for St. Paddy's Day. My husband starting making it for me years ago, and now I have to make it for myself. His was better. =)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how some people make a dish with the same recipe and it tastes different? Of course, sometimes the difference is that we love the person!
DeleteHope you have a wonderful St Patty's Day!
As a teenager I lived in a boarding house with an Irish chef so we had green donuts, green cordial, green icecream and many other green foods (that should never be green!!!)
ReplyDeleteIt is one of my favourite memories of the holiday.
That is a great memory! You are right though, some foods should never be green!
DeleteI'm not Irish, but my husband is. We have corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, soda bread, and beer every St. Patrick's day.
ReplyDeleteDon't you know- everyone is Irish on St Patrick's Day!
DeleteHave a great holiday!
Thanks to all who entered our little giveaway! I will post the winner soon!
