JudyL Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Ordered myself one. Can't wait to get it. I've learned more from Sherry in my quilting career than from any other one source and I'm sure this is going to be a very valuable book for me. Thanks Sherry!

Spi-Cap Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Oh, I just took a peek at your book and that is what I need to help me do the feathers. I need to see how it is done. I want to do feathers so badly. My drawing on paper and practise on muslin looks like something else but not feathers, they are not going the right way. I ordered the book and now can't wait for it to come. I have learned alot from your posts and I know your book will help me. Thanks Sherry.

ramona-quilter Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I just tried again and the web-site is just as busy now as it was this morning. There must be a lot of traffic looking at your feather book. I get the first page and then "We're sorry due to high volume".... I ordered the book today. But I'm still going to check back on this webshot site to get a peek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pstagl Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Sherry, Thanks for more feather help! I really like using the dry erase practice method that you teach. Will classes follow the book? I could use another trip up to The Quilting Connection in Elkhorn, WI........ I can't wait to get the book. I am sure it will be a "blockbuster"!

ramona-quilter Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Sherry, I was able to get to those webshot photos using the slideshow. Thanks for the tip. I will be looking forward to the Ides of March. Linda In Ramona, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnQuilts Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm ordering mine! This is so EXCITING!!! Sherry, would you please touch my book so that some of your talent could rub off on it and onto me when I get the book??? Can't wait to get mine!!

Judi Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I will need to order this book as well! I have seen your photos and you do such great work! As for sending some of your talent with the book, if you have a bit to spare for me too..... those feathers can be tough..... I know, practice, practice and then practice some more! Just need to find that "flow". I think the arrows in the book will really be a big help too. I must also say thanks for making it coil / wire bound so that it will lay flat! I have taken a few books into Kinkos to have them cut off the spine. This way I am able to have loose pages so that I can copy or slip in my scanner. This will be better! I won't mis-place a page!

wernersgreenacres Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Sherry, Will you have copies of your book at the APQS classes in March? I'm planning on taking two of your classes and was just wondering. Thanx, Pat Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Wow! Am I glad I stopped in here today! I've placed my order. You certainly have been a inspiration to me Sherry. If it hadn't been for your class in Houston, I would never have made the sampler that has gotten me so many quilting jobs. I can't wait to get this. I can do feathers, but I want them to look NICE and, I need some help in the ends of my feathers too, so this will be just the ticket for me.

SherryRogers Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Thanks everyone for taking time to look at what I am offering and jumping on the pre-order list sight unseen! I am thrilled to see this all come together and was actually inspired to get this done by a longarm quilter that has many children and CANNOT get to any classes. She did get a prototype copy of my book last week and is very happy with the results it gave her. I cannot thank you all enough for your words of praise. You are all now official cheerleaders!

Lesley Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I've ordered mine and I'm looking forward to it Sherry, I have a CQ but I still want to be able to free hand wonderful feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Finally...February is almost done!!!...usually a dreary month, but not so bad this year. Also, just had a week that dragged on with the quilt that has caused me the most strife...beautiful applique quilt that is 35 years old and in great shape. The problem came when the customer washed it before bringing it to me. I guess it had never been washed and one of the two main fabrics shrunk and the other didn't. What a nightmare and a crying shame!!! After a hard time of it, while sitting here, I realized that now that the quilt is done and off my machine, I get to play with my new Baptist Fan template :P and I also realized that it won't be long before Sherry's new book comes out...woohoooo!!!!!! Maybe the pre-orders will also be autographed??? (hint,hint;)) Have a great day...........Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Rooster Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I just ordered mine Sherry. I hope you will autograph it. Won't it be fun to see all of the great feathers that we all can do after the book comes out. How exciting! Happy Quilting, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryRogers Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hello all my fine featherd friends! Yes, yes, I am signing the books! My siggy will be on the last page.

SandraC Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 How exciting!!! I have had a job to do for a friend for about a year. She has these very old sheets that have Battenberg lace on them and they are special to her. She asked me to make them into a quilt. I had told her that I wasn't at a level yet to even think of diving into something like that!! Maybe once I learn some formal feathers and I recently got the crosshatching tool from Circlelord...I will finally be able to figure something out. Here's hoping, anyways!!! Thanks Sherry...looking forward to getting some mail in the next little while!!! Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
