Do ya feel lucky? Do ya?
It's the perfect day for it right? I was up early but not early enough to catch a leprechaun. I didn't even find any gold coins when I was looking!
What I did find was a copy of Pat's new book in my mail box!!! It's filled with not only wonderful quilt projects but it's a beautiful scrapbook of the trip. The book has day by day adventures of Pat and her merry band of quilters, accompanied by some lovely photography. I particularly loved the flowering tree in Avoca... a town that I happen to know is a favorite of Elizabeth as well. Here's how you can be lucky, leave a comment and this weekend I'll pick two names to win a copy of Pat's book! And to up your odds, travel around to all Pat's lucky blog friends and leave a comment!
Here's the lucky list of Leprechauns:
If all that's not enough, check out these videos about the trip! Part 1 and part 2! Ok, scram.. leave some comments and cross your fingers! Happy St. Patrick's day people!!! xo

I DID find gold coins... the chocolate kind. Unfortunately they were in the St. Patrick's treat bags my mom gave my kids and I'm pretty sure they would notice if they were missing when they got home... Happy St. Patrick's day!

I bet Ireland is beautiful.. it always is in the movies :) I am sure there was much fun if Pat was involved.. I would love to win that book!

I have good friend who met her husband while studying in Ireland. Guess I should put in The Quiet Man today while I sew!
I'm off to Ireland in July so this book would be perfect!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm wearing my green today, and thanks for the chance to win a copy of the book.
I have decided that I NEED this book. It is fabulous.
Thanks for the chance to win Pat's book. Happy St. Pat's Day!
I'm going to Ireland in August and this book would be a great help in planning my trip!
Happy St. Patrick's day and thanks for the oppurtunity to win.
Ireland is my favorite vacation ever! I've been to Blarney Castle and your quilts look fabulous photographed there! I was lucky enough to be there on St. Patrick's Day and along the road for the parade! Ireland is awesome! Thank for a chance to win!

And a Happy St Patrick's Day to you! I love the crabapple tree blossom pics as well. This is a great blog hop!
What a great book! Even though I have Irish heritage, we don't make a big deal out of St. Paddy's Day. I do wear green, however; last year one of my students pinched me because I forgot. (I pinched him back. haha)
St. Patrick's Day is one of my most favorite holidays!!!! I'd love to win the book.
Love Ireland, it's a beautiful place to visit. Been there twice and my daughter is on her way in a month.
Happy St. Paddy's Day and thanks for the chance to win a copy of Pat's book. I'm a big fan. Hugs
I need this book. We have a trip to Ireland coming up in May. I think it is meant to be.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Would love to win the book, thanks for the chance.

My son used to set leprechaun traps in his bedroom for St. Patrick's Day. Did you try that? Have to use gold for bait, so you need to invest a bit. This book looks charming. I won't be going there, but would love to read and quilt about Ireland.
SUCH A NEAT BOOK!
THANKS FOR SHARING!

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy St Pat's Day! Love the book. Would love to see Ireland one day, but until then the book would be great.
This book looks wonderful (been traveling around the blogs). Thanks for the chance to win!
I would LOVE to win this book. I am of Irish descent and my hubby and I are planning a three-week trip to Ireland next year...it would be fabulous to have this as a "tour guide" of sorts. I'd also love to give several of those quilts a try! Thanks so much for the give away and the chance to win! Erin go Bragh!
XOXO,
Cyndi
My husband's family roots are in Ireland. I would love to go someday.
I'm feelin' the lock o the Irish today. hope it last through saturday
Here's my comment on St. Patrick's Day so I might win the book!
I love blog tours because I always find at least one blog I want to add to my list. I'm anxious to see Pat's book. I'd love to see Ireland and I love her clean lovely designs.
Love to WIN!! Hope to go to Ireland one day, but this may be the closest I ever get.....
Funny you should mention catching a leprechaun....it reminded me of the cute leprechaun traps my kids used to make in school. We used to gather all sorts of odd items for them to bring to schjool to use in their traps. Hope I trap a win of this book :)

Luck of the Irish to you and may the blessings flow this spring like the greening of the plants. Thanks for the peek at the Irish countryside and your book.
My grandniece's kinder class is making leprechaun traps at school - and asked me a jillion questions about leprechauns and elves. Tonight we have our traditional corned beef and vegetables dinner. Thanks for the giveaway - would enjoy winning one of Pat's books.
We've still got snow on the ground but Pat's new book definitely put Spring in my heart today!! When I'm finished on the blog hop it's off to the beginning of a shop hop---will finish that tomorrow---then downtown for our Annual St. Patrick's Day Wee Parade (so named because it's only 2 blocks long) and dinner followed by an Irish Coffee with my husband.
Now have a Happy St. Patrick's Day and if you should feel kindly I'd love to win one of Pat's new books. :-)
Happy St. Patrick's day! seein' it's my b-day, hope to have the luck of the irish and win a book with goreous green quilts in it.
Thanks for your blog - love it!!
The book was sitting in your mailbox!!! Must be the mailman isn't a quilter!! LOL!!!
What a great picture trip & quilts to boot. Would love to win.
I may celebrate with a glass of guinness! altho if i do i can't drink & sew!
TY for the opp, JO
I think the Leprechauns are up much earlier than I am, and they are very fast.
The quilts look beautiful, and so does the trip. Get look at Ireland. Thanks
I think that I'm going to plan a quilt tour of Ireland. Wanta join me?
I have my green on.
Thank for being apart of Tour Ireland.
Look forward to seeing this quilt book.
Would love to win this book! It's the closest to Ireland I'll probably ever get.

Thanks for the chance to win a copy of this wonderful book. Ireland is gorgeous. And the projects would be so fun to do. I love the little lamb runner on the front cover. : )
I would love to have the luck of the Irish on St Patrick's Day. Fun blog hop. Way to go girls!!
Being of Irish descent I am very excited to take my first trip to Ireland in October of this year and this book would be just the thing to add to the excitement.
Love your blog.
Did not see any Little green men either. Of course it was foggy this a.m...Was lucky enough to find gold coins in my Christmas Stocking but that was awhile ago.
It's time for a virtual trip. Have a green day!
With a grandmother named Fitzgerald, how could I NOT celebrate St. Patrick's Day??!!
I think receiving this book might be almost as fun as catching the leprechan ??? Thanks for a chance to win.
I wanna play...in Ireland LOL
I would love a copy of the book. I wear green and play Irish music all month and especially today.
Yes! I need to win - I am married to a Leprechaun named Patrick. His maternal roots....Flaherty...Fogarty...I need this book!
I would love to have some Irish luck and win this book.
Time to put on some Irish tunes and lace up my Michael Flatleys.
Pam, hoping the luck of the Irish smiles down on me! What a beautiful book to devour along with a great cup of tea. :)
...and happy St Paddy's day back! Hope the leprechauns find you and drop gold coins (or at least some green fq's) at your door!
thanks for the chance to win.....it would be 'luck of the Irish!'

I love Ireland and Pat Sloan so what could be better than her winning her book. Happy St. Paddy's Day!
thanks Pam - I'm feeling lucky this St Patrick's Day - oh for the charm of the irish...
Ireland has to be amazing; I've never been, even though 1/2 my heritage is Irish! Happy St. Patty's day!!! and happy book publishing!
My grandfather has kissed the Blarney stone... I think it's gross! His father was Irish... so he went to Ireland to meet up with some relatives he had only heard of, but had never met. I would love to have a copy of this book! The designs are wonderful and the photos make me want to move there!
Like Pat Sloan and would love to win her new Ireland book. Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh wow how cool is that! Thanks!
Your blog is just too cute. Love the red it is so snappy. I am glad Pat sent me to visit it. I really hope I win a book too.
Having this book might be the only way I ever see Ireland! I would love to win this!
Hope you had a great St Patricks Day! And I hope the luck of the Irish is with me so I can win one of the copies!
Maria
PS - LOVE your banner!
A little bit of Irish Soda Bread and a nice cuppa tea that's the way to celebrate St Paddy's day! That and winning this book!!
Oh Pam, Happy St Paddys Day to a bonnie lassie!!! Pick me Pick me !!!! Nurse Payne
Quilts and Ireland...life is so good. I'm adding this book to my must have. I will be traveling to Ireland this summer. I had decided to buy fabric in Ireland and then make a memory quilt....I think the snowball quilt would be perfect. I did trap a leprechaun and he said he would make sure that I won. Wasn't that nice of him!!!! Either way, thanks for the chance.
Lovely Irish quilts--hope to win the book so I can make them!
I have always loved St. Patricks day. I met my husband 23 year ago today, and that is cause for celebration in itself! My kids have always liked it since my son's 1st grade teacher told the kids about setting Leprechaun traps. Every year for at least 5 years after that they would make the most elaborate traps...of course I would have to find something to give them as a consolation when the clever Leprechaun pulled the trap but didn't get caught. Usually some cute litte St. Paddy's stuffed animal or something. Now they are too old, but they still like their St. Paddy's day treats. Chocolate will suffice these days! Thanks for reading, and for the opportunity to win Pat's book...that would really make it my Lucky day!
Happy St Paddy's day!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
What a fun way to end St. Patrick's Day. The book looks so pretty and inspiring.
I'm hoping to find Pat's book in my mailbox too!!!
The book looks great - thanks for the giveaway!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'd love to win that book.
Fingers and toes crossed that this old Irish lassie will be the one to win Pat's book! ohpleaseohpleaseohplease
This book is beautiful!! Can not wait till I see it in person!!
I love the cover photo - idyllic farm scenery in the background; quilt in the mid-ground, and a cuppa tea (in a china cup, of course) with which to enjoy the view!
Thanks for sharing this with us and giving each of us an opportunity to win this great new book.
Fingers - and toes - are crossed!
So many great quilts - hope to win the book!
Not a drop of Irish in my family ... but we do love green and idyllic farm scenes in both pictures and quilts. The more I see of this book, the more I like! Thanks for the fun and opportunity to win a copy!
This is such a amazing country with such rich heritage and I'm glad it's my heritage. I look forward to making may quilts from this book. Thanks for sharing.
Would love to win this book. Ireland is on my to visit list. Thanks for the chance.
:)Carol
Would love to discover Ireland with Pat!
This book looks so great - like taking a trip without leaving home! Of course, I wish I had been one of the quilters who went...but since I missed it, I hope to win the book. Thanks for the chance!
this looks like a really fun book.
I think I'd like it :-)

I'm off to Ireland in June. I'm really excited to see where my ancestors were from. I have a cousin who had a book published on our family, but didn't have where she got her info from and she couldn't find out what part of Ireland our Irish ancestors were from. Linda R
