Shamrock Chainstitched Border is a very nice design when finished. I really like the chainstitch border if you use a metallic thread for it that brings just a little sparkle to the design. If you try this design with metallic border don't forget to slow down your machine and change the needle for the metallic thread.
Shamrocks in a Heart Border Shape this works well as a stand alone design or as a picture frame if you leave off the last shamrock in the center. We have changed the color for the last shamrock just so you have a stop to leave it off if you want to cut the center out of this design and use it as a nice picture frame. Or you can use it as a ring around a candle and as a candle mat for you centerpiece at your St. Patty's party.
I made these using various pastel color for the base that shows white in the picture. I then got twigs from the yard and painted them pale yellow and hung these on it. Sure to be a hit this year at our easter brunch.
