Simply Irish 12.5" x 12.5" Just a wee bit'o fun!

Irish Chain by Maren R

I thought the easiest Irish Chain is with a 9 patch. I wanted to make it irregular.So took 2 days for my design and calculation. Then i borrowed my sisters sewing machine since i had to be at my parents place this week. Cleaned it very thorough and oiled everything to discover that a cable was missing and we spent a morning searching for it. Without success.


We found a very antique machine at her in laws attic. O.k. Another day cleaning and oiling. And then i couldn't get the tension right for the threads i had. Fortunately there had been 2 old and dusty Spools of thread in the machine. With this thread she worked. It was already sunday by then. I thought i will never manage my design in one day. So i decided to make it traditionally with some lovely greenish, Spring coloured batiks. And just finished the runner.

I still want to quilt it but not with this machine and the beige thread:)

Green by Not Envy by Lily H

“Green but not envy”



I have done many nine patches and it’s one of my favorite block but this is the first time for an Irish chain.
Since it’s St. Patrick’s day I made a green Irish chain zippy bag. Zippy bags are good for everything and every time I use it, it will remind me of these six fun filled challenges.

Irish Chain Mug Rug by Teri D

I made a little mug rug for my desk. I wanted a chain of three leaf clovers. I tried out a decorative stitch on my machine to make it simple.
