About Tír na nÓg Studio

Tír na nÓg Studio

Where magic happens with fabric and thread.

 The story Tír na nÓg is one of my favorite from Irish mythology . Tír na nÓg is a place of eternal youth and beauty where time stand still, no one grows old or gets sick, flowers bloom perpetually, there is no sorrow or pain and where love is eternal. I loved this story growing up and imagined Tír na nÓg to be like heaven. When in the creative process of making a quilt, I can get so engrossed that it does seem like time stands still and all the cares and troubles of the world are no longer present – my little slice of heaven on earth!

Tir Na nOg

“….I said with my eyes that

I recognized your chin

It was my long lost friend

To help me from another lifetime

We took each others hands and cried

Like a river when we said hello

And we walked

to Tir na nog

We made a big connection

On a golden autumn day

We were standing in the garden wet with rain

And our souls were young again

In tir na nog

And outside the storm was raging

Outside jerusalem

We drove in our chariots of fire

Following the big sun in the west

Going up, going up,

to Tir na nog….”

from “Tir Na Nog” by Van Morrison, inspired by a poem by W.B. Yeats
