Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Feast of St. Patrick than by getting all dressed up in hand embroidered step dancing dresses and performing a jig for the local nursing home residents. Well, I myself cannot do that. But my daughter used to when she was a bit younger and I hand embroidered the dresses of quite a few of the girls that she danced with. They used to take a day off school around St. Patrick's day and go to nursing homes and senior centers performing for anyone who wanted to watch them. It was wonderful to see the smiles they brought to so many people.

Here are some pictures of some of my handiwork from back then, and in THIS POST you will find links to all the information on how you can do embroidery just like this!
