Lismore's beauty and a quilt exhibition

Last month I visited the lovely town of Lismore, Co. Waterford. Lismore is a very pretty historic town at any time, but on this day a quilt show in the local cathedral was the main attraction for me.

St. Cathage cathedral is a lovely church, located at the end of a quiet green street.


And inside it is stunning!



The weekend I visited it was also covered in quilts of an enormously wide variety. They were hung around on display stands, and covered all pews, too.


A few from the many that caught my attention:







There were also cushions, bags, and table runners.


A most unusual quilt hung right by the entrance.



Since it was a lovely warm day as well, I took some time to wander around the town and by the river, too.



I did not have the opportunity to visit well-known Lismore castle, I'll have to keep that for next time!


With thanks to AĆ­ne of the Lismore Quilt Co. and her helpers for organising this wonderful exhibition, and giving me the excuse for a great day out!
