...here are some pictures of work I've done. :) Hopefully this will quell the call for pictures until I can track down my digital camera and take some more!

One of my favorites, an Irish Chain/pentacle combination. My first foray into combining patchwork and appliqué.

My first successful patchwork quilt, a Jacob's Ladder

I love making miniature quilts, and had a few adorable scraps of actual feedsack fabric for this one!

Some more pictures! Enjoy!

My first experience with a Grandmother's Flower Garden. The top's lost in my move to Vermont, but maybe one day I'll track it down and finish it.

This is a pattern I had with EQ5, but can't remember the name of it. It's one of my favorite star patterns, too! I'm too young for "senior moments"!!! *LOL*

Made from leftover blocks from my first appliqué quilt (I still use the lap quilt I made). It has a home with my older brother now. The motif quilting instead of sashing was fun to do!

Yet MORE pictures! You asked, and you shall receive! :-)

A block derived from "Claire's Cats". Originally destined as placemats to go to my brother and his (now) ex. I'll probably track down the book and make more blocks as a quilt for him.

A third block originally destined as placemats to go to my brother and his (now) ex. I'll probably track down the book and make more blocks as a quilt for him.

Thanks! Which ones? And what about the ones in your avatar? They look like they'd be fun to make. :)

You're welcome! :) Speaking of quilts, time for me to go through my stash and pick out fabrics for the 1930's charm swap!

Meow, and thanks! :-) This just gives me more impetus to quilt, quilt, quilt! Next, I'll have to take some pictures of pincushions I've been making, from the Spring 2008 issue of Quilts and More magazine. :-)

All are Beautiful.

Paganquilter 11-03-2008 10:46 AM

Thank you very much! Now that I've got a camera on hand, and a way to get the pictures uploaded almost immediately, there is simply no excuse for not taking pictures!

Who could resist such a warm and welcoming chat, about one of life's greatest subjects--QUILTING :D

It was a pleasure to meet you too, and I do hope we can chat again sometime!

Craftybug 11-03-2008 06:04 PM

Beautiful work, love the kitties.

Paganquilter 11-03-2008 07:17 PM

Meow, and thanks! :) Don't know why I'm timid about sharing pics, there doesn't seem to be any good reason for it....

sandpat 11-04-2008 04:58 AM

Love your kitty blocks and all the pics you shared. That Irish chain quilt is sooo pretty. I loved you comment about- my first "successful" quilt...LOL...too cute, I didn't see your other first quilts, but you are right about that one :lol:

Bevanger 11-04-2008 07:38 AM

I love them all. Great job! :thumbup:

If you were to see my true "first", you'd see why I called the Jacob's Ladder my first true success. *LOL* It was just a four-block Rail Fence wallhanging, but oh my god, I made all my mistakes on it. :P It's currently in New Hampshire, though, so I'll have to get it the next time I visit my parents, and take a photo to share of my "real" first :P

Janstar 11-04-2008 06:18 PM

Nice job and welcome to you!

Moonpi 11-04-2008 07:18 PM

I think my favorite is the tiny goddesses , but the cats are cute.

Paganquilter 11-04-2008 07:21 PM

I've been thinking about doing another miniature goddess quilt. So many ideas, so little time in a day!

mountain-moma 11-04-2008 07:24 PM

Wow you do some beautiful work you are so bless

Paganquilter 11-04-2008 07:29 PM

Thanks! I didn't even quilt until 2002. I was more into hand embroidery at that point, and the company I was working for at the time downsized me. Well, there was enough from that to buy a sewing machine that I'd had my eye on. Another shocker, mind you, because prior to that point, the mere sight of a sewing machine would send me running for the hills! The catch here was that it was embroidery-capable--and that made all the difference. Later that year, I went to work for the same company that made the sewing machine (Husqvarna Viking) as a sales girl. I was the only one of us who didn't quilt. Do you think I'd let that fly? No way! The rest, as they say, is history! :)

kd124 11-04-2008 11:08 PM

Very nice quilts/blocks. I love the colors of your Jacobs Ladder.

Marcia 11-05-2008 05:28 AM

All of your quilts are wonderful. I see you like a new challenge--every quilt is a new technique, theme, etc for you. Great way to stretch your knowledge and talents. And you are talented! My favorite is the Jacob's ladder, but all are fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing, and please, do NOT be shy about postiing pics!!!

ceannastahr 11-05-2008 06:02 AM

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the kitties!

sewjoyce 11-05-2008 07:46 AM

I love the kitty blocks! Are those hand appliqued??????

I would love to have the pattern -- but no rush!

Nita 11-05-2008 08:06 AM

Gorgeous, every one of them, but my favorite is the Jacob's ladder done in Christmas colors.

kaelismom80 11-06-2008 07:41 AM

I am sooo in love with your pentagram quilt!!! was it difficult to do? i have been quilting for about 2 1/2 yrs but i try to keep it simple. i can do stars and a few other things, but have not been brave as yet...except in my unconventional use of fabric.

Paganquilter 11-06-2008 08:02 AM

The patterns for the kitties were from the book "Claire's Cats", so I can't up and give them out. Your best bet would be to either search your favorite sewing site for the title, or to look on Amazon.com

The pentagram quilt was perhaps the fastest I've put a quilt together (2 weeks, start to finish, including the quilting). The worst of it was the pentagrams, which probably added on a week to the time it would have taken otherwise. Those had to be done as fusible appliqué, with tiny black blanket stitches around the edges. Something I've done before on another piece (and would love to try for a repeat of this pattern) would be gold metallic blanket stitches around the edges of the block. It's very subtle, but adds a nice bit of glitter.
