Feathers add a graceful elegance to any quilt, and this book provides the tools to create a wide variety of feather designs. You'll learn to stitch the basic freeform feather as well as a feather with a stitched spine, and these will be the building blocks for more complex feather designs. From there, you'll learn to manipulate your feathers to fill specific spaces and how to manipulate plume shape and size to create different feather "personalities". Sumptuous colour and detailed photographs make this a great learning tool.
