If it Weren’t for the Internet ---

If it weren't for the internet ---

I wouldn’t have 8 years of blogging here.

If it weren’t for the internet --- I wouldn’t have facebook.

If it weren’t for the internet ---I wouldn’t have met Sigrid from Germany!

If it weren’t for the internet ---I wouldn’t have met Janina also from Germany!

If it weren’t for the internet, and my blog, and facebook – Janina and Sigrid would not have met each other either!

And I got to see Sigrid’s adorable hexie owls in person!

And we all got to be together, face to face-- in Galway at the International Quilt Festival of Ireland!

And since we were at the International Quilt Festival of Ireland…we got to have our pictures taken with Liam, the town crier!

Under the shade of a yarn bombed tree!

((Why does Liam look as if he is going to brain us with that danged bell?!))

Happy memories ---

This is my fate today! 

Catching up on 14 days gone….So many things to address!  Dates added to the calendar, program chairs changing and addresses needing updating --

Workshops changed and added.

Questions, answers, suggestions, logistics.

My head is spinning!  Is it time for a nap yet?

I’m missing my Ireland peeps!  I hope they all got home safely.

One of the items in the great snail-mail haul of June 2013 didn’t come with any full name or email address attached, but it just requested:

Thank you for the scraps, JM!  I will be sure they make it into someone’s hands for charity quilts!

I am hoping to do some sewing of my own this afternoon ---as soon as two weeks of book orders are filled and dropped off at the post office.

In the mean time…I’m thinking of this:

Double Decker Bus in Belfast!

Was I *REALLY* just there?
