Shamrock

A shamrock leaf is a clover-like plant, commonly used as a symbol of Ireland.

For St. Patrick’s Day I’m sharing a Shamrock Quilt Block Pattern by Eveline Foland.

She designed many quilt patterns in the 1930’s for the Kansas City Star Newspaper.

I’ve shared some of her other patterns and several from the Kansas City Star Newspaper in earlier posts. Click on the Quilting category on the right to find more quilt patterns.

Quilt, Pillow or Drawing

This can be made into a quilt or cushion. It’s an applique pattern, but can also be used to paint the design on other surfaces. The stems can be embroidered or appliqued.

The pattern is shaped like a heart, then 3 are placed with their ends together to form a shamrock.

Lots of glue on this particular pattern in the scrapbook. I’ve scanned the individual parts in gray scale rather than color. The old newspaper print shows up a little better that way.

1920’s Party Games

As an added bonus, I’m including an article from a 1920’s ladies magazine titled Parties for St. Patrick’s Day. Have you ever colored bubble water with cooked spinach stock? Read on to find out how to make your party bubbles green.

I didn’t realize when I scanned the article that the paragraph continued. Here’s the rest of the article:

“competing against a new pair of players, the one winning at the end receiving the prize (boxes of tiny green candles, will serve).”
