Product Description
Learn to step out from under the size restrictions of stencils to create your own quilting designs. Look at hearts, leaves, and flowers as creative opportunities to use feathers. Learn to master pattern repeats, and flow designs around corners. Working with simple tools like large sheets of paper, a feathered design template, and basic drawing tools, you too can create designs that fit perfectly into the blocks and borders in your quilt. AUTHORBIO: Anita Shackelford has been quilting for 35 years. Her quilts have been exhibited across the United States and in Australia, winning 12 Best of Show awards. A resident of Ohio, she has traveled extensively, teaching and lecturing for shops, guilds, and quilting conferences. REVIEW: An excellent resource for enthusiastic quilters who want to add that special extra touch. Infinite Feathers is very user friendly for even the most novice quilter.

infinite feathers falls short,

This review is from: Infinite Feathers Quilting Designs (Paperback)
I was a bit dissapointed in this book,it does not include the stencil for making the designs, the introduction states that you can make your own designs without the need for commercial stencils,that being said the book is usless without mrs.shackelfords infinite feathers stencil as all the instructions are based on using that tool(which by the way is $15-$20)depending where you live.I guess ive got another coffee table book to collect dust.
