Hi Claire! I just sent an email to you, and will post here too, just in case... how wonderful to hear from you! I was just in contact with Mary Sloan of the Irish Patchwork Society, and she gave me a long list of fabric stores, as well as some info on your group. She also gave me Ger Larkin's email address. I would love to attend the meeting on March 14!
I'll most likely be taking public transportation to the meeting, unless our whole group comes. There are six of us coming from Alaska, and we'll be staying at a house in Broadford, near Ennis. If I come on my own, I thought I'd find a hostel, and stay overnight, and spend a some time exploring Limerick too.
Since I'm coming from the US, I am wondering if I could bring some fabric to trade with members of the Patchwork Society? I'd love to bring some Alaska-themed fabric (I think one yard pieces would be okay?) or if anyone is looking for something in particular, I could try to bring that too. I'd love to get some Irish quilt fabric in exchange, or, since I'm a crazy quilter, I'm always looking for lace, buttons, small bits of fancy fabric, or just about anything that I can sew onto my small wall quilts, hats, bags, etc.
I would be so thrilled to meet with you, even if something comes up and I can't attend the meeting. For one thing, I'm hoping to come home with an Irish accent! :-) Not sure that's possible, since I'll only be there just under three weeks, but I'd like to try!
Thanks so much for contacting me, and I hope we can get together while I'm in Ireland! Edie Barbour Fairbanks, AK
