pewa Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I am looking for a pantograph called Chicken Wire. Any help much appreciated. I am new and am learning so much from you talented quilters. pewa:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I did a www.google.com search ..... should find one here http://tinyurl.com/26kfy4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Sherry Rogers has one on her website. Search under members and her website is listed there. I can't remember what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Sherry offers a chicken wire ruler in a couple of sizes. Check out her website for info. I would have trouble with a chicken wire panto--how would you keep the lines straight!? Linda R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pewa Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I did search before asking but only found the ruler. (Maybe that is the way it is done.) The pattern is not for me, a friend asked me to see if I could find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 If you click on the tiny url in message 2 ..... the very first 2 URL's listed from google.com search takes you to two (2) pantographs............ EDIT: OK maybe there really isn't a pantograph for sale ..... hmmmm I thought for sure I saw one. sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Dixie, I looked at the site you posted the url for. There is a disclaimer on that site that those are copyrighted patterns that are not to be reproduced, and they are not for sale. But I have seen, and have owned, some of those same pantos. Are they her designs? I thought paws and bones was Dave Hudson. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Teresa, hmmm I don't know. I don't think they're her designs but they would be copyright to the designer like Dave and etc. In actually looking at her website she's a quilter for hire. http://www.thequiltstudio.net/pricing.htm wonder who's chicken wire pattern? I think I'll just go back to lurking (and stay out of trouble). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 NO Dixie, I didn't mean for you to think you were in trouble. I just thought you knew the person who owned the website and could explain for me the disclaimer. Maybe she means you can't copy the designs from her website pictures. I'm just confused by her wording. I was wondering who made the chicken wire pattern also. It is kind of neat, but I'd never get straight lines using a panto. I have to have a ruler for straight lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Teresa .... I think you're right she means not to copy from her website. I did d/l and enlarge the chicken wire photo (just to read the copyright) and it looks like it says something like N.Sharp 2002 no idea who that is or maybe it's a photo of a ruler. I agree I could never follow a panto for straight lines. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pewa Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thanks ladies. I checked the Quilt Studio site and they have a Dave Hudson panto called Honeycomb, which is what she was looking for. It does seem like it would be difficult to follow those straight lines. Thanks for all the help. Trisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 N. Sharp 2002 is Norma Woods Sharp. You guys know her work. If I said: Cotton Candy Chantilly Lace Whimsey Now you know her work. I love her pantos. They are so simple yet so beautiful. You can find her stuff at http://www.quiltscomplete.com and http://www.baysidequilting.com As far as chickenwire, I have only seen the ruler, no panto. Sorry.

dixieqwv Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks Ramona for that information. Yes I recognize Cotton Candy, Chantilly Lace .... her work is lovely. I went crazy at quiltscomplete before Chrismtas .... I'm a panto junkie as my brain has no imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 If you have a compuquilter...Kim Diamond has one on her Sweet Dreams Studio. Before I had a compuquilter...I made my own panto for chicken wire...it is not a twelve foot panto...because I created it for a smaller quilt. My email is...stagecl@yahoo.com or give me a call....804-556-6662 Cheryl Mathre Stone Creek Quilting Sandy Hook, VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingupastorm Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 dixieqwv I know you and you sure do have imagination! I actually have more trouble trying to follow a panto than doing allover designs freehand. How are you by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrussel2 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I made my own chickenwire panto from real chicken wire. I took a photocopy of the wire and then I digitized (fancy name for drawing on the computer) the design and resized it to fit my needs. I made it for a chicken applique wallhanging that goes to shows and hangs at our LQS. It always gets numberous compliments. Not only on the fantasic applique job but how the chickenwire was the "perfect" way to quilt it! Simple but very effective. I'll try to attach a close up picture of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hey there sewingupastorm(AMI) ... I'm doing ok ... thanks for asking. I've been under the gun the last 5 days ... Quilt for the Church Youth Group. I'll tell you all about it over at Valley of the Sun. How's it going with you? Are you girls doing better?

Judi Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 lrussel2 - Question.... you said you digitized this pattern? So you must have the compuquilter? I love how you quilted this - perfect for the quilt and very nice!! Thanks for sharing the photo with us..... I look forward to seeing more of your work! Welcome to the forum "lrussel2" and "pewa"! Hope you get to feel comfy here enjoy your visits!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrussel2 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thank you all for the wonderful compliments. Judi - Yes, I do have CQ and do some designing and digitizing when I have time. I used to design and digitize embroidery designs but that is way too time consuming so now I just purchase my embroidery designs on CD. Embroidery would take me days to get a nice design by the time I finished with testing it... then I would only use it once! Ugh! CQ takes me a few hours from start to finish and then I use the designs over and over again. Almost instant gratification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I wish I could see the CQ in action. The last quilt show I went to up in Dulth - the APQS did NOT have anything set-up. So I went over and looked at the StatlerStitcher on the other brand.... just not the same..... I have a Brother embrodiery system and do make my own designs now and then. I know what you mean about time consuming! You can sit there and make changes forever! Right now I am working on Cherry leaves and stems which will be embroidered - and then 3 yo-yos will be put on for the cherries. I need a bunch of these for a wall hanging. So - not as bad when you can use the design again and again..... I think I would be able to handle the CQ and have a bunch of fun with it! Would love to be able to make my own designs! Oh - Someday...... I would love to just play!! P.S. You know you could SELL your designs - that Chicken wire is just perfect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tymless1 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Pewa...........go to www.stensource.com........ stencil #JW1040, I'm sure this is what you want. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rebecca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pewa Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Tymless, Thanks for the link. I am just starting and would like to ask how would you use a stencil like this? I have made a few panto. patterns by using a shortened copy of the pattern, would this be done the same way? Lrussel, the wall hanging is cute as can be. When I saw that I figured it was stitiched with CD as those small in between stitches would be so hard to do freehand. It looks great! Judi, Thanks for the welcome. I don't post much but read and learn everyday. You guys are so inspiring and knowledgeable. pewa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Tymless, That chickenwire looks like a paint stencil but it sure looks like it would work. Our brain fills in what is missing anyway, I bet you could stitch chickenwire up very well with this tool. I noticed that stensource.com has some great continuous block patterns, too. I just love the way we all share our resource info, lessons learned and new techniques here. It's like a cyber classroom. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
