I come to you today, writing this blog post on a typewriter, in a trench coat, smoking a cigar. Okay, not really. But I should be. Because the Irish Chain Quilt, though seemingly just beautiful and innocent and a great choice for your next quilting project, is actually very, very mysterious.For example, it’s called the IrishContinue Reading...

Irish Twist in Strawberry Lemonade by Sherri and Chelsi I have had Saint Patrick’s Day on my mind lately. In part, that is because March 17 is on the horizon and I live outside of Boston, where the holiday is a big thing. I’ve also started a second listen to the Last Seen podcast, which documents the theft of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. If you’re unfamiliar with that story, in the wee hours of March 18, 1990, and in the wake of Saint Patrick’s Day festivities, two men posing as Boston Police made their way into the museum, tied up the night guards, and stole 13 irreplaceable—and still unrecovered—works of art. It’s a fascinating story, in part because the burglary was so brazen and so easily accomplished. (You can read more about the theft here.) And the third reason I’ve been thinking about all things Irish lately is that I’ve been wanting to make another Irish Twist quilt. This design, following in the long Irish chain tradition, spotlights the space in between the chains to make a uniquely modern quilt. I’ve had an Irish Twist project in Aneela Hoey’s Sherbet Pips collection cut and ready to be sewn for months now, but there are so many awesome collections out this spring. I couldn’t help but mock up Irish Twist in a few of Moda’s latest lines. I think my favorite is the version in Strawberry Lemonade (by Sherri and Chelsi), at the top of the post. Those colors and prints are so spring-y; they have me wishing away these last few weeks of winter. Old Glory (by Lella Boutique), directly below, is the most "me" of the collections. I love red and blue together, but I think I’d put those prints to work in something with a Fourth of July feel. The third mockup surprises me the most. I tend to be rather blue-averse (when asked for my color preference the last time I bought a car, I asked for the color not-blue!). But Water, a collaborative collection from Ruby Star Society, goes all in with blue, and I like it! These three mockups were made possible by EQ8, and experimenting with them scratched a creative itch for me.

Anna Gleissner Good, (1862-1927) Double Irish Chain and Scotch Thistle, 1925 69 x 81-1/2" Helen F. Spencer Museum at the University of Kansas. Gift of Mary Kretsinger, 1971.105 In 2005 I curated a quilt exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art called Quilts: A Thread of Modernism. While I was doing the research, the concept of modern/not modern captured my interest. (Hence, this blog.) Is Anna Good's quilt modern? Or not? This quilt seems to capture the dichotomy. Modernism is in the eye of the beholder. I have been looking at this quilt for about forty years. It was definitely neither modern nor interesting to my young eye when it was donated to the Spencer Museum of Art in the early 1970s by Anna's granddaughter Mary Kretsinger. Mary believed her mother Rose Good Kretsinger made it, but as years went by clues led to an attribution to Rose's mother Anna Good. While I was working on that 2005 exhibit I realized the Irish Chain and Thistle quilt had been very modern to Anna's eyes and probably to Rose's too. Drop dead modern in 1930 Modernism is innovative, but innovation can only be new for so long. We have to consider Anna's quilt from two perspectives: That of 1926 when she made it and that of the 21st Century when we look back at photos like these above as quaint, old-fashioned and nostalgic. These women saw themselves as cutting edge. The captions for the portrait directly above and those below, many from the Farm Security Agency program during World War II, use words like "old" and "poor." We cannot see how smartly dressed the women are. Russell Lee's pictures of Pie Town, New Mexico also capture the conflict between modern/not modern. Times were hard but cotton prints were relatively cheap. Our interpretation is always colored by our perception of these cotton prints as grandmotherly, cheap, and shabby. The chic-ness of what some call "shabby-chic" today is very hard for us to see. Although the Duchess of Chic, Wallis Simpson, here in the early 1930s, knew what she was talking about. For our new book Emporia Rose, Karla Menaugh did an interpretation of Anna's Thistle.

Well, it's done and I love it! My green and white Irish Chain quilt turned out just how I envisioned it. It adds just a little bit of color and vintage charm at the foot of my bed. I also think it would've been cute had the fabric placement been reversed. I get asked a lot - the green I used is called "Forest" by Michael Miller (Cotton Couture). What do you think of my new "homebody" pillow? I got it at the Corn Wagon Mercantile a few weeks ago. The Corn Wagon is an awesome quilt shop in Springville, UT. and they recently opened a retreat center and mercantile behind the shop. The whole place is just a dream. I definitely want to go back again soon! So I mentioned in my last post that I was debating whether or not to do crosshatching for the quilting on my quilt. I decided to splurge and do it and I couldn't be happier! It was a bit pricey to do the crosshatching since my quilter basically had to quilt it twice but I think it was worth it. I rarely do custom quilting (which is always more expensive) so I thought I would treat myself this time! I feel like the crosshatching has a vintage vibe but is still kind of modern which is exactly the look I was going for! The quilter I used on this was Denae Hansen of Plain Jane Quilting in American Fork, UT. She always does a fantastic job and has a pretty quick turnaround time. I always love her work! I'm kind of obsessed with my backing fabric. I went to 4 different fabric stores before I found it and the minute I saw it I knew it was the one. It's called Wildwood Peonies in Navy by Rifle Paper Co. for Cotton + Steel. I actually ordered it through AACottonCreations on Etsy though because the shop here in Utah only had it in canvas. Are you one to put a lot of thought into your quilt backs or not? Some people say, "Oh, it's on the back, you won't see it." But you do! And I just want the back to make me as happy as the front. Remember the labels I got a while back? They're from Border City Quilts on Etsy. They were custom so if you want something similar just tell them you want the 2" x 2" cotton fold over labels. You can pick the font and text. I got a sheet of 20 for $16 and I'm very happy with them! I'm so glad to have this quilt done so we can enjoy it now. I hope you don't mind me sharing a boatload of pictures with you today! Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm also so happy to announce that I have the printable, condensed instructions for the two-color Irish Chain quilt HERE (2 size options). Happy quilting!

I have much more to share with you from the exposition from France. Di Ford is also from Australia. Her work is exquisite! This design is on one of Quilt Mania bags and I have marveled over it ever since I first saw it. Many of her beautiful designs have a center medallion. The majority of her designs revolve around wonderful muted fabrics.... However their are exceptions! Her fabric selection is amazing. I have a pattern which I made years ago which has uses this block. Its in the pattern called, Made From Grandmas Aprons. It is out of thirties so it had a way different look. Stunning! Once again it is all about the fabric. Are you as enamored with her work as I am? "We must be lovers, and at once the impossible becomes possible." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
