Improvements in textile manufacturing brought about fashionable printed cotton fabrics at the end of the 18th century. Expensive and high status printed cottons were used by the more wealthy. Simpler and cheaper fabrics were used by the lower class. The creation of patchwork quilt designs was really popular with the first settlers and continued as the country expanded. The block style patchwork design was the result of an approach to the solution of several problems faced by the colonial and pioneer quilters. Bed-covers had to be made; lots of quilts were needed because of drafty houses. Also the dugout houses carved into the sod of the prairie called for many quilts to keep the settlers warm during the bitter cold winters. Money was scarce and cloth was expensive. So many quilts were made from scraps of cloth, recycled form making clothes or worn out clothing. Even a scrap of fabric as small as 1” was often used. The blocks were made 1 by 1 and later joined together. A patchwork quilt was often a record of a family’s history, using small bits of clothing and other household fabrics. With the 20th century came two wars and the Great Depression led to a scarcity of available materials. Many quilts were made from recycled clothing that had been cut into pieces and sewn back together to form the designs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ History of Irish Chain QuiltsThere’s something special about creating a quilt.It’s believed Irish quilting came by way of England and dates back to around 1804. While others believe the date could have been earlier.Quilting patterns began showing up in the 1800’s in the United States.This craft started out with the wealthier women, but other women soon took on the challenge.Old clothes and linens were cut up and sewn into patchwork quilts. Sometimes old sheets or blankets would be used in the middle for the batting.There are many varieties of the Irish patchwork but the Irish Chain seems the most popular. Irish Chains are usually made in the Single, Double or Triple style. The design of squares used in the blocks, when sewn together creates a secondary linked pattern across the top of the quilt.This quilt’s name comes from a measuring tool that was characterized by having small squares and stripes. This was a tool used for surveying with linear measure.What began as a heartwarming craft, became a chore, and has now come back to a heartwarming craft.

By 6 I was being taught to use her sewing machine. I was making most of my clothes when I was a teenager, at that time I also began to learn to make quilts. By the mid 70’s I was sewing professionally, by the mid 80’s I was wholesaling quilts to a business – they would buy all that I could make. In the 90’s my husband and I traveled around the United States to craft shows and setting up in malls selling the quilts and other craft items that we made. I’m now 69, retired and making these items in our home. I’m supplementing my Social Security by trusting God and selling the things on my Ebay Store. I’ve been making the Lone Stars, Log Cabins (and Log Cabin variations), Giant Dahlia, 9 Patches, Double Irish Chains, Triple Irish Chains, Appliqued & Pieced combinations, and many others for several years. Sewing skills have been passed down in my family for generations; I still have the treadle sewing machine that my Grandfather gave to my Grandmother on their wedding day back in 1912. I’ve been sewing for well over 60 years. Please enjoy these items and know that they’re made with LOVE!
