American Quilter in Ireland: Snow in Ireland!!
http://americanquilterinireland.blogspot.com/2009/02/snow-in-ireland.html
American Quilter in Ireland. Saturday, February 7, 2009. Yes, you heard me right - we have had a good deal of snow this week! We probably won't see this much stuff for another 20 years so I spent some time taking photos and encouraging the kids to play away in it. The council grits the roads with sand but mostly the main roads which leaves most of the poplulation stranded in the coutryside. The backroads were frightening, really frightening! I have been a very bad blogger the past two weeks, I have to ge...

American Quilter in Ireland: Just Another Day
http://americanquilterinireland.blogspot.com/2009/01/just-another-day.html
American Quilter in Ireland. Thursday, January 29, 2009. Not much to share with you this past week, we have been very busy lambing and assorted family duties! FarmerBoy is out there feeding the ewes and their lambs, this is the view from my little sewing nook. The weather is lousy hence the rain on the window but you can kinda make out the lambs and their mudders. Gotta run, too much to do today and not enough time to chat. All the best! This looks like a scene near my home. Have a wonderful retreat!

http://americanquilterinireland.blogspot.com/2011/06/where-have-you-been.html
American Quilter in Ireland. Monday, June 13, 2011. Where Have You Been. The shop is going well (touch wood) and we are building a shop/classroom on our farm so that I can continue to grow the business. The top photo is of our stall at the Knit and Stitch show in Dublin last October. We will be there again this year but in a much better location! I have started a blog for my shop and hope that you will stop on by over there, not sure when i will be back over here! June 14, 2011 at 12:49 AM. I used to hav...

American Quilter in Ireland: The Long and Winding Road!
http://americanquilterinireland.blogspot.com/2009/02/long-and-winding-road.html
American Quilter in Ireland. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. The Long and Winding Road! Sooo very sorry that I have been absent for the past week. I have been thinking about my blog and thinking about projects that need working on (that I would love to share), but to be honest with you I have been mostly trying to earn a living! This picture is of a road that we love to travel on! I took this picture in November while FarmerBoy and I were out mapping our cycling routes. We never encounter cars on this ...

American Quilter in Ireland. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. The Tourist Season has Begun! We have just completed our first Cycling Tour with the most fantastic people and it went better than expected!

FarmerBoy and DS2 were behind me and there was quite a bit of mumbling going on with them as well! See that big patch of dirt? We have sown about 5...

Pieceful Moments: July 2015
http://pieceful-moments.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Snatches of time in a world full of too much fun. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Mom lives a couple blocks from a Goodwill store. We talked about going for a good browse, but time got away from us. On the last day of my visit, I stopped in for ten minutes on a walk to the drugstore. I didn't have enough time to do the store justice, but I ran my hand along the women's sweaters and this one jumped out at me. When I told her it was 100% wool and handmade she actually seemed impressed. Links to this post. When I...

Pieceful Moments: November 2014
http://pieceful-moments.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Snatches of time in a world full of too much fun. Sunday, November 30, 2014. I made a quilt for my Mom to match her bedroom decor. We talked about patterns and colors on the phone and I drafted sample layouts in Electric Quilt. It was called Framed Nine patch. We put color swatches and fabric samples in the mail to each other. Then I ordered the fabrics online. Ordinarily being a blue-green girl, it was fun to work with a different color palette. Here I'm cutting the frames for the Nine patch blocks.

Pieceful Moments: Around the Block Quilt
http://pieceful-moments.blogspot.com/2015/07/around-block-quilt.html
Snatches of time in a world full of too much fun. Sunday, July 05, 2015. Around the Block Quilt. Now that the birthday quilt has been gifted, I can blog about it. The beginning of this quilt is here. I decided to make it square and add borders till it felt finished. I let each step suggest what the next one should be. Auditioning lattice and border fabrics. I cut similar fabrics for the pieced border and laid them out in what I call a 'planned random' sequence. I had my usual helper, of course. Nancy Blo...
