St. Patrick's Day!
This is always a special day for our family, as the Hayes ancestors came to Australia from Ireland in 1839.
My father always taught us about the strength of "Family" and how important it was to keep the ties with our heritage.
As all of you know who are doing the "We Are Family" quilt in Homespun Magazine.
I'd like to share with you the Irish blessing that's on my father's gravestone ....

Happy St Patricks Day to you Bronwyn. My Pop always used to tell me that saying....Love it! He was a true Irish Man - being a Murtagh.

I have Homespun magazine with the pattern "we are family". I love it.
I'll try the Barmbrack recipe, I have never tasted it.
This post is a great tribute to your Dad.
Happy St Patrick's Day.
