Irish Chain - a Simple Quilt Block for Project Linus

[@thewildcrafter]

When my son was born sleeping at 38 weeks. I was given a small quilt at the hospital before I left, which a charity group called Blankets of love made and donated. Im in Australia. This quilt is one of the most cherished things I have to remember him. Its a beautiful thing to do, and recipients absolutely appreciate them.

[@HRHDMKYT]

I’m so sorry for your loss Natasha, that must have been devastating. I’m glad you were given a tiny memento by which to cherish your son’s memory and pray that you may find some small peace in your grief. ~Diana K.

Well Kate's video made my Monday worth getting out of bed, how could it not! I subscribe to hundreds of youtube channels but none of them could ever replace you Kate. What sets you apart from the rest is you are not just demonstrating your talent but you also show us joy, compassion, graciousness, appreciation, affection and patience. A lot of that resonates within us. There are unfortunately, a lot of lonely people out there and I bet you just might make their day!

[@nicolapepper3354]

Simple, elegant, beautiful. My youngest received a PL blanket many years ago. He loved the colours and textures and wanted it with him all the time. It was special to me to think someone took time out their life to think of us. It's been three years since he passed and his blanket is a treasured part of his memory. You and your Mum are very kind, thankyou.

[@HRHDMKYT]

I’m so sorry for your tragic loss Nicola. Thank you for sharing your story, I am glad your son received some comfort from his Project Linus quilt. May you eventually be able to find some peace in your grief. ~Diana K

So sosrry for your loss. I lost a child quite young. Every memory is a gift.

[@brigittesalvdor4761]

Hello, I'm French and I love your channel. My niece just had a baby boy who was born today at 6.45 am and your quilt is a wonderful idea to celebrate the arrival of this baby and offer one to his big sister and her doll for which my father (his great grandfather) made a small bed. Tomorrow I will choose my fabrics and get to work. Thanks for this idea! I love it. Thanks Google translate !!🤩

[@christi4169]

I think of quilts as Hugs and so many children need more hugs.

[@erineddy7999]

Quilters should get more recognition as masters of geometry, even if they might have trouble with maths. Another great video! Thanks Kate❤

I often think my Maths teacher would be amazed that I use measurements and calculations daily with my sewing, I was always bottom of the class😂😂

I have been donating to PL for about four years here in Michigan, US. I did not know it was a world wide organization. I am proud to be part of a large group that donates locally for the children in my region/area. I make larger quilts for adolescents, approximately 60 by 75. Adolescents so often are nearly adult in size but they are still young emotionally and need the warm hug of a quilt.

[@seakinireland]

Hi Linda! I’m in Michigan too!

[@beth12svist]

I don't think it really is worldwide, unfortunately. From my Google search, it seems to only be in the US and UK. I'm Czech, so if I ever wanted to donate a quilt (I'm not really a quilter, but I do have two in the works from years ago, so you never know), I'd have to do it through a local organisation. Luckily, there absolutely are local organisations through which you can donate to people in need. 🙂

[@HRHDMKYT]

@@beth12svist We have Project Linus in Canada as well. Donations include blankets, quilts and afghans (knit or crocheted) for children who are sick, traumatized or in need of a “hug” they can have for their very own. But I agree every country likely has charities that accept quilts for children who need them, either in foster care or orphanages, or hospitals, hostels, refugee organizations. In Canada we also have a charity called Quilts for Survivors, which was established by a young woman who makes, collects and distributes quilts to indigenous survivors of residential schools which traumatized generations of indigenous families, separating children from parents, siblings, elders and from their homes and culture. So many opportunities to share a bit of healing.

[@beth12svist]

​@@HRHDMKYT Thinking about the sorts of charities I know of in my own country, another thing that sprang to mind was safe houses for women. (Domestic violence victims, obviously often fleeing with children and very few material possessions.)

[@kathrynriggs2489]

Linda, I'm from Michigan too! I have a friend who's special needs daughter was hospitalized at a local children's hospital. She received a quilt there that happened to have been made by a local quilting group at one of our churches here in town. It made the family feel very special.

[@geraldinekraus4800]

Just have to tell you, I love to watch you work. I am going to be 78 years old in July and I, too, find my joy in sewing quilt tops. You inspire me because of your joy, your smile and your positive attitude. I sew for Quilts of Valor and for local children's hospitals in Atlanta, GA, USA. I pray you continue to enjoy what you do and share with us what makes you smile.

When my daughter was born 2 months premature, the hospital had quilts for the micro-preemies. It gave me comfort that people took time to make a quilt. So, I make quilts, and knit caps and scarves for a few organizations. Thanks Kate. ❤😊

[@sharonwilson8208]

@@zormier2002 We have a local shelter. The churches in our small town have been great at providing meals, hygiene products, etc for the people staying there. But, the shelter was a brainstorm of a few of my classmates. We got together and got the data, the paperwork, and location in 18 months time. That's who I send them to. Some who find employment need clothing, and household supplies, bedding, curtains, etc. There's always something I have that I can donate.

I haven't quilted in several years. You may have just inspired me with that quick strip piecing! Thank you...

[@MadNaduk]

That's a lovely block, and I will add that to my list of blocks I use for my Project Linus donations. One tip for you and your viewers - if they are thinking of donating, PL (certainly here in the UK anyway) don't mind, in fact encourage it due to cost savings for their quilters, that instead of buying wadding and backing fabric, to use a non-pil fleece fabric with no wadding. It makes the quilts really snuggly for the kiddos. You can even get an organic cotton fleece from Empress Mills, which doesn't afford the same cost saving, but you know that micro plastics wont end up in the water from your quilts being washed.

[@margaretmcgregor5686]

That's very good to know - this will be my first quilt to donate.

[@HRHDMKYT]

Beautiful! I love the simplicity of the Irish Chain quilt design. Hand quilting really elevates it into a gift of love, just like the quilt your Mum made for you, Kate ♥️. I also like your idea that when trying out different/new block designs and sizes, I can make a few test blocks which can then be used to create a quilt for my favourite charity. I’m sure the recipient(s) will appreciate receiving a handmade quilt, and I get the opportunity to see if the size and scale of the blocks is what I need for my project (whether I’m making a quilt project to keep, or as a gift for my own loved ones!). I see you are nearing 100K subscribers on KZbin, Kate. Good luck in reaching that significant milestone, I hope their algorithms put your videos in front of new viewers to obtain enough new subscribers to get you there!! 🤞🏼 ~Diana K.

Hi, Kate, hello everyone. I do so like the smaller squares. Need to use up my scraps. Very therapeutic and gives one a sense of achievement. Take care

[@pebblecritter]

I find 'unpicking' another zen thing to do and oddly, I really don't mind it! You looked about as relaxed as I do when I've decided to just unpick - although, being surrounded by those BEAUTIFUL flowers and a nice cuppa helps. :) I adore Peanuts and Linus was always my favourite - I could relate to him. I do love Woodstock too - he came later but I love his utter nonsense, he's a bit scrambled like me sometimes. :) It was lovely to see Frank's nose too - what is it about doggie noses that is just so sweet! Thank you for this Kate - you always bring sunshine and cheer into my life. xxx

Lovely video!

Alas, my cat laughed at me back when I tried to learn to quilt, though! But another PL "blanketeer" here has now offered to teach me. Your calm manner and conversation has made me believe it might be possible!

Hello Kate & Anna 😁 Thank you for going above and beyond. It has inspired me to do the doll quilt in queen size all from scraps! Cutting all those scraps has resulted in a 13 gallon trash can of less than 1 1/2 inch pieces. No, it's not actual trash. It's the bin I use to hold all my crumbs and pillow fodder. I sew crumbs together instead of using a thread bunny. I currently have 5 queen size quilts on the go for the winter season. I hope to have them all done by spring. Cheers.

I LOVE how Brits refer to "HOMELY" as being a wonderful HOME comfy thing whilst us in the States refer to "HOMELY" as UGLY. I chuckle every time I hear or see this. "NESTING SEAMS" what a great solution to avoid bumpy seams. I finally found your channel this morning, you popped up in my feed. Your project is making a dressing gown with 10-inch square patches you purchased from Itsy and found a pattern on Pinterest. I have not used either site so now you've sparked my curiosity in both. Thank You! The "Irish" chain quilts sure looked familiar, as my great Aunts (Scanlon) were from Ireland and the home I grew up in their home in upstate New York, with lots and lots of quilts that look just like the one you presented. The thing that impressed me the most was their pillowcases embroidered with their initials. What a wonderful childhood memory you've reminded me.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I think the origin of the word Homely far precedes the way it has been misappropriated - if you read the full quote from Tolkien (in my About Page) you'll see how it relates to my house. Tolkien was a Professor in Old English Languages so trust him. So happy you have found something you like here at my Homely House xxx

[@erineddy7999]

Be careful using old jeans for a quilt, denim is much heavier than quilting cotton. Different weights of fabric have challenges when used together. Also, from personal experience, the quilt I made with denim was more like a weighted blanket than a quilt. Not a bad thing, just something to consider.

[@michele.the.quilter6174]

I turned my quilts into the Extension Service where I am a member of one of their Homemakers Groups. None of my quilts were small baby quilts.

So inspiring to see the simplicity of an Irish quilt become so impactful. I haven’t made quilts for Project Linus yet but it’s wonderful to know that quilters all over the world, including you, are sending quilts of comfort.

I actually had a tab on my iPad open to the Project Linus website and the where to find a chapter. I live in Kentucky USA. The area I am in is in the northeast corner of the state where Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia meet. I did a quick check after seeing this. There are 5 chapters in KY, FIFTEEN in OH 😳 and 3 in WV. I live right on the Ohio River. There is not a chapter in my area of KY but there is one right across the river from me in OH. I am making a throw for my daughter right now which won’t take long. I have a Layer Cake, a jelly roll and 2 charm packs that have the perfect prints for little ones. I believe there are a couple PL quilts in my very near future!!! Thank you Kate.

My cousin sews quilts for Project Linus in California. She sews every day as her husband is a truck driver. She fills her truck with blankets, then off to drop them off. I’m working on a 20 year Grandmother Flower Garden quilt. Started when my daughter was 14 years old at hockey practice. I’m thinking I’ll finish it this year! 🙏🏼🪡😉
