Let's start with the basics, shall we? I am Cindy. I live in Galway Ireland with my other half, my cat Clarkson (nearly 5 years old) and my dog Molly (1 1/2 years old).
Molly checks on the cows every morning during our walk. |
I am a full time scientist doing research in regenerative medicine during the day, quilter on the weekends and in the evening (or on a sneaky day off!). I am also owner of a fabric shop also called Fluffy Sheep Quilting which has been a wonderful adventure! The shop will be at the Saturday market, so do stop by and introduce yourself. More on that in Friday's post, though.

Oh, it rained and rained this market day. It was miserable. |
When I am not quilting, in the shop or walking Molly, I am usually camping. More often than not I bring along something stitchy to do by the camp fire with my friends.
This past weekend with my friends in their garden. I'm third from the left. Yes, the one with the wine glass. |
At the retreat you can find me hand quilting with Jen Kingwell, embroidering with Jo Avery, screen printing with Karen Lewis, making fabulously fast quilts with Amy Smart and finally diving into a Green Beans and Sweet Tea quilt (gulp!) with Jen Kingwell. I am really looking forward to this weekend of stitchy fun!
In the mean time, you can find me on social media in a few different places:

OMG you are really making fires in the garden? And drinking wine? What a new side of you. Have a great time. Can not wait to hear about all the classes hand stitching and embroidering!
You described me when you said someone who like combining colour, pattern and shape but not great at painting and drawing. That's me, that's me!
Have a great time, sorry I won't see you this year.
Good thing you are coming to visit me or I would be gutted about not seeing you at the retreat.
I love the blue background in that top quilt pic! Can you share which fabric it is?
all sounds brilliant
Yeah hope to speak to you this time!
What I great post! It's lovely to get better aquainted with you.
Love the photo of Molly on your quilt and the campfire one too - looks like fun!
Did you go to Ireland for a post-doc or with a company? If a post doc - how difficult was it going from US-based grant structure etc to where you are now? I am also a quilting scientist - and would love to leave the US but am hesitant about finding a JOB based off my training here. oh also - HAVE A BLAST AT THE FAT QUARTERLY RETREAT!
I love seeing that camper, I can only imagine what fun you have in it. I hope it is full of quilts for keeping warm by the campfires, etc. I sure will miss seeing you at the retreat.
Look forward to meeting you, I'm screen printing with Karen and Fast tile quilting with Amy too!
Have fun! Love the sound of the classes you've chosen :o)
Look forward to seeing you at the retreat, I'm also doing fabulously fast quilts!!
Oh I will definitely be seeing you then! And I don't think we have ever managed a chat at the last 2 events! And we get to have dinner together so we will surely manage it this year!!
