Fabulous Feathers & Fillers
Sue Nickels
American Quilter’s Society
$24.95
Award-winning quilter Sue Nickels is known for her outstanding domestic machine quilting and has been teaching machine techniques for more than 22 years. Her goal in Feathers & Fillers is to teach you her technique for creating a shaded wholecloth feather-type motif in any size, shape or style that suits you. She shares all the supplies you need along with her experiences using them. I appreciated her discussion of the sewing room along with pictures of herself quilting, so I could see how she manages the quilt. The conversational tone of the book was great and you felt like you were with her in her studio as she explained how to accomplish what she had. The overwhelming majority of the book focuses on technique so you can really learn. This is followed with nine projects of wholecloth feather designs to use your new found skills. If feathers are your thing, or you want to learn feathers, this is a great resource.
