We are getting close to the end of February already, so you might be looking ahead to March and thinking about stitching something for St. Patrick’s Day.

I feel a little envious when I see the beautiful seasonal displays other stitchers put together for every holiday. I admit I wish I was the kind of person who had dozens of finishes for every occasion, but I have a long way to go before I have enough finishes for year-round displays of my stitching. Until that day, however, I love to browse seasonal patterns and get inspired.

Here are some great cross-stitch patterns perfect for St. Patrick’s Day that have caught my eye recently:

Top Row, left to right:

1. “Lucky Tree” by The Trilogy
2. “Sparkling Shamrocks” by The Sweetheart Tree — I love all of the specialty stitches on this one!
3. “Uber Shamrock” by Bent Creek

Middle Row, left to right:

1. “Luck Be With You” by Homespun Elegance
2. “Flip It – Luck Celebrate” by Lizzie Kate

Bottom Row, l-r:

1. “Shamrock Bunnies” by Death by Thread
2. “Monthly Mania March” by Heart in Hand
3. “Olde Irish Blessing” by Erica Michaels
