I have a friend that is coming to tour all of Ireland and would love to talk with anyone to get tips.
Anxious to hear from everyone.

Possibly your best bet would to make this a Topic on the Board for yourself. But as a Scot, I can tell you in Scotland we have the Woollen Mills with Aran knitted items. Whisky of course and tartan. Also we have wonderful Edinburgh Crystal, might be difficult to transport but I know they do it. Edinburgh might be a good place to start.
Hope that helps

Hello, It was so nice to read your post. Some day I hope to visit Scotland. The pictures I have seen of there are so pretty. I think that was where some of our family came from (Madden). I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do. JoAnn from Arkansas

Hi Jacquie! Scotland is such a beautiful place. I have a pen pal in England who used to work in Scotland and took me there to Dollar, Scotland several years back because my last name is Dollar and wel jokingly said that we were going there to buy my castle which was for sale! Too funny! I fell in love with the area and would live there in a heartbeat if I could.

I am fairly new to quilting but I love to dabble and try new things. Great to have you in the group. You will really see a lot of beautiful quilts on this board and lots of talented quilters! Welcome!
