I visited Ireland back in 2008 for 3 whole months.
Stayed with one of my daughters, her husband and son while we waited for the second child to be born...they have a home in Shannon.
Found knit shops in Limerick, but no quilt shops.
Loving history the way I do, it was amazing to see the old castles turned into apartments, and the old buildings and shops nestled right next to the new.
But now I know why the grass and plants are so green, year round...it rained every day save one. I should have brought a rain slicker! LOL
