About Me
Hi, my name is Agnes and I live in Galway, in the West of Ireland, with my husband David and four children(ages 2, 10, 17 and 20). I love to quilt, mostly machine piecing but recently have been working on some hand pieces. I joined a quilt group last year, and love our Tuesday nights, lots of fun. I like to make quilts for family and friends mainly, as gifts, not really interested in shows that much. I've been quilting for twenty years.
Hobbies and Interests
quilting, applique, hand quilting, machine quilting, gardening
My Pets
Skye (German Shepherd Pup) and Jock (14 year old Westie)

Agnes--great to hear from you ! Thanks for the birthday wishes. I enjoyed your pictures--is that your little girl?? Precious! Your group looks like so much fun going on there. Aren't we blessed? I especially liked the starry quilt--although they were all beautiful. Talk to you later, Leather Needle Debbie

Agnes, good to hear from you. The school year is winding down here. Just about 4 wks left. I'm getting the binding sewn down on the second graduation quilt. I enjoy doing that and will be glad to see that project come to an end. I have a couple of quilts that I'd like to get sandwiched and basted in order to hand quilt.

Yesterday and today were cattle working days. Our son stayed home from school yesterday to help. The rounded up the yearlings and then sorted them by steer & heifer. The heifers were vaccinated. Today he saddled up as soon as he got home from school and they moved the steers a couple of miles to summer grass. It didn't take long and they had no problems. It was a great couple of days, weather-wise, to work cattle. My husband checked the fences this morning and for the part of the afternoon before our son got home from school. My dad (75 yrs old) still rides and likes to help with the livestock work.

I am scheduled for a badly needed haircut in the morning. The lawn needed mown today, so I feel pretty gritty and dirty. It is good exercise, though. The walking and pushing is good for me.

Our daughter in college is headed to London & Edinburgh with the college for a "study abroad" program for 2 wks in May. She is pretty excited, but a little apprehensive, too. She's hardly been anywhere - even here in the states! This will really stretch her. Wish she could detour to Ireland.

I enjoyed hearing about your little guy and the fabric basket. My niece (12 years old) likes to sort through my scraps and IRON them. She loves to iron fabric. Too funny. After she visits (and before I start pawing through them again) I have the most well-pressed fabric bits around.

Have a good day.

Oh, I have to add another comment since I just noticed where you live - I LOVE Galway!!! I visited there, gosh, almost 10 years ago now! I'm so jealous of where you live, you lucky lady! :)

Hi Agnes,

Thank you for your welcome. I've added some photo's. Your quilts are beautiful! Now I am working on a play quilt for my youngest daughter, Nina. She is born with a brain injury and when it's finished, she can play outside.
Have a nice day.

Agnes, Your quilts are beautiful! I am still trying to get used to the fact that the quilt was let go for $55. I laughed when I read your comment that some people deserve quilts and other fruit baskets, so true! In the right circumstance I would donate a much smaller quilt, but it probably will not be soon. Have a great day!

Wholecloth quilt: Thanks, Agnes. It was fun and relaxing to do, but it did take me 4 years to complete. I probably could have finished it sooner than that, but I mainly worked on it during the winter months and for 2 of those winters, my husband gave the 2 main rooms of the house a "face-lift" and I needed to put away the quilt because of the dust. It is a preprinted wholecloth, so I can't take credit for the design. You can find this one and others at www.quiltingstencils.com or find wholecloth stencils to design your own at www.mandldesigns.com. There are pillow tops and baby quilts there as well.
Thanks again!

It looks like your group has fun when you get together. Your quilts are beautiful. My daughter is very interested in Ireland. She's 18 and graduating from high school this spring. She would love to visit. Is it hard to get around the country? She has seen movies and has fallen in love with the landscape.
