You don't say whereabouts you're going. This is a link to the Quilters Guild of Ireland which has a list of fabric shops throughout Ireland. Some of these have further links to the shop websites. I'd suggest you call ahead first as some may only be open on certain days/times. Enjoy your trip!
Thank you so much, I checked out the link and bookmarked it. Especially interested in the shop in Cork that is both a bookshop and craft shop--would be a perfect match for hubbie and me!
