Valentines weekend was spent in Ireland – teaching first in Kerry, then we Nikki drove us all the way through Ireland just north of Dublin, Drogheda.
After the long drive I couldn’t wait to stretch my legs and walk to the beach, just in time to see the sun set and to find some gorgeous shells. I took the beautiful sahped cockle shell home, the rest of my finds I arranged onto the sand for this picture.
The reflection of the sunset over the Irish Sea was stunning. No matter how often you see a sunset – each one is special.
I had a busy weekend teaching the ladies at An Grianan to make a sheer landscape. We were lucky to have almost two days, this enabled everyone in the class to complete their project. With some ladies even finishing two pieces. This picture just shows a selection of the little jewels they made.
Ireland was ‘grand’ and I made some lovely friends – Nikki, Jan, Romi, Jillian, Sarah and Maura (only two Irish amongst them). If any of you read this – thanks a million! Also thank you to all the ladies from the Irish Patchwork Society and the wonderful hospitality at An Grianan.
