Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day at your house? I'm only about 1% Irish, but I still enjoy dressing up in green and eating a bowl of Lucky Charms every March 17th!
Whether you dabble in the day's festivities or go ALL IN, here are seven St. Patrick's Day projects you'll love making on your embroidery machine. Some are bigger projects, while others take only a wee bit o' time.
Let's take a look at each darlin' project! (Okay, I'll stop my poor attempts at sounding Irish and just get to the good stuff . . .)
#1: Save the Date Pillow Panel
Our March 17th Save the Date Pillow Panel features fabulous ferns and clovers. Stitch your panel in a 5x7 machine embroidery hoop and attach to an 18 x 18” pillow! (Or use it another way. This design is so versatile!)
Like the other holidays in this collection, our March 17th design comes in two sizes for 12x12 and 9x9 panels. I love the Embroidery Leather band around the leprechaun hat!
🍀 You can purchase this delightful design HERE! Please note that you can either buy the whole collection OR just the one design. (Simply choose which you want under "Pillow Name.") 🍀
*If you'd like to try making a pillow panel before purchasing anything else, the February 14th design is FREE!
#2: Pennants & Banners: Hello Spring
Our Pennants & Banners: Hello Spring collection features a variety of pretty spring pennants, including designs for St. Patrick's Day. Each comes in five sizes so you really can do a lot with them!
Embellished with lovely ribbon ties, pennants may hang independently or can be strung together to make a banner. Extra-small pennants make sweet ornaments or mini garland!

#3: Lucky Us Pillow
Inspired by Kimberbell’s classic wall hanging, our 22 x 22” Lucky Us Pillow is a real treasure for St. Patrick’s Day. Follow the applique rainbow to a sparkling pot of Embroidery Leather and Applique Glitter!
Pretty stunning, right? This pillow can be made in a 5x7 embroidery machine hoop. From applique clover to patchwork all over, Kimberbell’s Lucky Us Pillow is a beautiful touch for your hearth and home!

#4: Holiday & Seasonal Mug Rugs, Vol. 2
Mug Rugs are festive, fun, and only take about an hour to do (from start to finish)! Our Holiday & Seasonal Mug Rugs, Vol. 2 collection includes a simple shamrock that's perfect for St. Patrick's Day.
This Mug Rug is especially dazzling with green Applique Glitter (shown above). You can easily whip up Kimberbell Mug Rugs in a 5x7 embroidery machine hoop with fabric from your stash!

#5: Luck o' the Gnome Bench Pillow
With wee folk, wishes, and decorative stitches, our Luck o’ the Gnome: St. Patrick’s Day Bench Pillow has “all the joy your heart can hold!”
Leprechauns with wooden noses and knobbly knees wear hats of sparkly Polka Dot and Applique Glitter, their legs dangling freely below them. You can make this pillow in a 5x7 embroidery machine hoop!

#6: Felt Cozies for Spring
Like Mug Rugs, Felt Cozies are another project that are so, so, SEW easy to do quickly on your embroidery machine. Our Felt Cozies for Spring collection includes this sweet shamrock!
Make this cute cozy in a 4×4 hoop (or several at once in a larger hoop), then slip over suckers and straws, pencils and more! What a perfect gift for anyone needing a little luck.

#7: Bench Buddies
Kimberbell Bench Buddies include two petite pillows for every month: a square design for an 8 x 8” Pillow Insert and a rectangle design for a 9 ½ x 5 ½ Pillow Insert. These are the pillows for March!
Bench Buddies can be made in a 5x7 embroidery machine hoop. (We have designs for the entire year, so you can make pillow covers for every month and then switch them out!)

BONUS! St. Patrick's Day Background Quilting Designs

Wishing you many Irish blessings!
