Twisted Irish Chain Craftsy Class - One of My Favorites!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


I made this lap quilt in Bee My Honey fabrics in Amy Gibson's Twisted Irish Chain class several years ago.  I love the way she teaches, and this traditional design just seems to be timeless.  I still love this quilt and use it as a piano bench cover in the living room.  I have another WIP in this pattern wishing it could be finished soon, and I'm hoping to do that!

This pattern is also found in The Simple Simon Guide to Patchwork Quilting by Liz Evans and Elizabeth Evans.



Today only get any Craftsy class for $19.99 or less!  This is a great day to buy one of the more expensive Craftsy classes.  My two favorite Craftsy classes are Pre-Cut Piecing Made Simple by Camille Roskelley, which includes the Swoon quilt pattern, and The Twisted Irish Chain by Amy Gibson.

Bee My Honey Table Runners or Window Valances { x Two }

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


I love to collect odd works of art for the shelves above my windows in the living room.  The weirder the better!  The tall chicken in the red skirt, bowtie and hat was a gift from one of my sisters!  
Oh, yes, we're here to talk about quilts!

Two matching Bee My Honey table runners or window valances.   
 They coordinate with the Twisted Irish Chain Lap Quilt I recently made.
Isn't Mrs.Owl so happy?! 
 The HUGE red B no longer resides on the shelf.  She recently jumped off in the middle of the night, scaring the dog to death, and I can't quite figure out how to get her to stand up without falling down again.

Pattern:  None really, 16 patches with some half-square triangles thrown in.
Size:  12.5" x 52.5" generous table runner length

I love the traditional pattern of this quilt!
Twisted Irish Chain Lap Quilt
Originally made for myself, I have decided to part with this quilt.  There are two matching window valances which can also be used as table runners.  I'll post about those soon.
