I have always associated the color “Green” with Ireland, land of my forebears. Here is an old photo of me, wearing a green outfit, during my high school years (1960s).
I love the idea of Irish themed quilts and so, I decided that you might like to know about a new magazine on the subject!
I am posting the following letter I received, after I inquired as to how to purchase the new Irish Quilting magazine. Here is a link to one of their sites:

The subscription I ordered cost $47. + change for six issues and will begin with issue #2. Being of Irish descent, how could I resist a magazine with a title like that? Our own Mark Lipinski of Quilter’s Home magazine is featured in issue #2. I can’t wait to see this new magazine!
For the meaning of “Slainte,” please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sl%C3%A0inte
