Many old buildings that had me oohing as I love building architecture.

And we visited The Book of Kells which is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly earlier.

I'll try to get today's activities posted in the morning...no guarantees...I'm so tired. It's 9:30pm and still day time. It won't get dark until 10:30pm. Dark or not I'm putting myself to bed soon.

Ireland Dublin

Here is where we are staying. Lovely hotel but like a maze to get to your room. We are here for two nights. The water pressure is fabulous.


Dinner at a Irish Pub, the Celt. YUM!


I had a bowl of seafood chowder and Brown bread and butter. A pint also.


Margeret had a soup of carrots and coriander and a ham sandwich.


Great architecture on all the buildings.








The floor in the pub attached to our hotel a quilt pattern for sure.


Come back for more adventures.

A Last Minute Quilt

To take with me to Ireland. I can get the binding done on the long ride to Dublin. It will also double as show and tell, a nice quilt for all the beds I will sleep in. I am always more comfortable with a quilt from home.


The inner part, all the blue and yellow triangles were bought on eBay and converted to a quilt top. (Yes I know I have some poodling on one side, I'm Hoping it will even out after binding and washing.

The back


I used 80/20 batting, perma core thread on top and superior so fine on the bottom. Quilting was a leafy vine with a curly que.
