International Quilt Festival of Ireland.
For the first time in almost two weeks, I have an evening that I can relax into. I felt really ill today with streaming eyes, and asthma. As soon as I got to my hotel room, it disappeared so it must be something on the bus or even in the environment. So I'll stack up…
