Leprechauns Everywhere!

Since St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, I am highlighting some of my St. Pat’s designs this week.

If you want a quick and cute kit for a LEPRECHAUN GNOME PILLOW you will find this kit available on RebsFabStash online quilt shop.

Or you could just order the LEPRECHAUN GNOME BLOCK.

This is my newest LIL’ LEPRECHAUN GNOME BLOCK pattern.

I used the Lil’ Leprechaun in this cute as can be kitchen towel…

The LUCKY LEPRECHAUN is my most popular block this month. His nose is a stuffed fabric yoyo.

Here he is in a mug rug…

And here’s LEPRECHAUN.

This is a sweet table runner that my customer created using LEPRECHAUN and CLOVER LEAF.

Carin shared a photo of the Lucky Leprechaun Journals made by her friends. Aren’t they just the cutest?

I’d love to see what you have created with my Leprechauns!

I just returned from a little Florida get-away with 2 of my siblings.

After a beautiful week of 80 degrees and sunny skies, I returned home to this…

And now it’s back to designing…

To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I’ve designed a new Gnome.

The LEPRECHAUN GNOME is a sweet little guy with a nose made from a fabric yoyo. So cute! This newest St. Patty’s block will join my other leprechaun creations:

LUCKY LEPRECHAUN is still one of my favorite St. Patty images. The smoke swirls are very suble, and are created from my free motion quilting.

LEPRECHAUN is another cutie. See even more of my St. Pat’s designs HERE.

Please join me this Saturday at the Winter Quilt Show in West Bend, where I will be vending and lecturing on paper piecing.

Blimey…St. Pat’s is right around the corner.

Here’s my new LUCKY LEPRECHAUN block, just in time for your March projects. His nose
is somewhat 3-dimensional, made from a fabric yo-yo with a bit of stuffing inside. I love his pipe!

Mug Rug made using the Lucky Leprechaun block, and adding a 2 1/2″ strip of extra background fabric to one side.

Here are my other St. Patty’s related blocks. This is CLOVER. This block was sewn by Allison. I love the fabrics she chose!

This block is LUCK, also sewn by Allison.

This table runner was sewn by a customer, using another LEPRECHAUN block from my Etsy shop.

My POT O GOLD block has gold made from yo-yos.

This gift sack was sewn by my friend Marilyn, using my Clover block. So cute! If you are thinking of more clever ways to use my St. Patty blocks, please share photos.

I have some fun paper pieced pattern blocks designed for March. Most of them are St. Patrick’s Day related. Leprechaun Block

His nose is a fabric yo yo, but could also be a button. Love that lopsided grin!

Luck Block

The secret of this block is to find 4 fabulous green fabrics.

Shamrock Block

Even though this shamrock only has 3 leaves, it is mighty lucky!

And Pot of Gold Block.

These “gold coins” are actually fabric yo yos, but could also be gold buttons.

One of my sweet customers shared this photo of a Leprechaun table runner, using my blocks. This is adorable. I love to post my customer’s creations using my pattern blocks, so please share your photos at: maryannhertel@gmail.com
