. There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
'Twas Saint Patrick himself, sure, that set it;
And the sun of his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the mireland
And they call it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland
(Irish Blessing)

Shamrock Lace is a dainty shamrock flower captured in threads and presented in interesting freestanding lace motifs. The designs are fast stitching, delicate and yet sturdy enough to become heirlooms for tomorrow. There are five designs in the Shamrock Lace collection. All are one color designs lending the user to use creative threads to enhance the beauty of the laces. Whether you dress up with a green shamrock pinned to your dress or drape the laces as a border on your jacket, the designs are versatile and can be used any time of the year. There is a free sample for you to download. The designs are for the 4x4 and the 5x7 hoop sizes. I hope these little shamrocks will bring you "luck o' the irish" all year round.

Doily and bowl created using Shamrock Lace 4 design -eight panels each (shamrock lace #4) were stitched together to create the bowl and the doily.
