I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! St Patrick’s Day is a favorite at our house. As with many of the holidays we love it is definitely about the food and friendship we get to share on this day. While my corned beef is cooking away, I thought I would share my St Patrick’s Day Sampler as well as a one of a kind card I made for my friend, Libby. She sends me a lovely card almost every month and while I don’t always get one back in the mail to her I do try to make her something special when I do.
I am including a brief supply and measurements list for the sampler.
