Have I ever told you that Rosie is a little bit Irish?
Her great-great-lots-more-greats-great grandmother was named Pepperhill Golden Pine Irish. I know, it's kind of a stretch but for St. Patrick's Day, everybody wants to be Irish! Including Rosie.
Have you been to the Jolly Jabber yet? Kimberly and Stephanie of the Fat Quarter Shop invited me over for a chat so I'm over there and so are the new Schnibbles patterns -- all six of them! In fact, if you leave a comment there, you could win a set of patterns.
I'll wait.
As for what's happening here, busy work. I'm waiting for page proofs for the next book and strike-offs arrived this afternoon. I have been getting orders shipped and some pattern writing -- future stuff -- done so that I just might, maybe possibly actually be ready for Spring Market. And I do have those 237 new quilts to make... uh, right.
So until the next time, I hope you have a wonderful day and I will leave you with one of my favorite "Irish" blessings... at least I've been told it is Irish.
May you have the hindsight to know where you've been
the foresight to know where you're going
and the insight to know when you're going too far.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Happy St Patrick's Day to our favorite girl...Love Howie and Zack

Happy St. Patrick's Day...I actually do have ancestors from County Tipperary in Ireland...so it was fun to see that on your blog. I'm really excited about the new Schnibbles book and more fabric...congratulations once again!

Love the vintage card images! I'm a bit like Rosie, though maybe a few greats closer, my great great grandparents were from County Cork. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I love the new Recess Schnibble pattern and am wondering if a Jelly Roll would work instead of a couple of charm packs. I won a Jelly Roll and have no other plans for it.
Sure wish I could find some of that Niagra Spray starch. :S
