Introducing The Ultimate Shape!!! ~ Special Sale Thru August 6th~





I am VERY pleased to be introducing the newest member of my designing stencils collection...
The Ultimate Shape!

When I teach my design workshops I often talk about a very simple shape that I use to create overall designs simply by repeating the shape and filling it any way I wish.  It was another one of those light bulb moments when I decided I should have this shape cut into stencils!

This designing stencil has been cut into four different sizes, i.e., 2", 4", 6" and 8" to accommodate most quilt blocks.  The basic shape is a Cathedral Window with four arches and it also has horizontal, vertical and diagonal guidelines.  It has been designed to allow you to use all of the guides or just one or two to create an unlimited number of custom quilting designs for both pieced and  wholecloth quilts.
A very common quilting design is the Cathedral Window.  The Ultimate Shape will provide perfect arches on all four sides of your block.  If you decide to add lines in the middle those are there too!



If you want to add an arch to a block and it is larger than The Ultimate Shape, simply center the stencil on your quilt block and then extend the arches to fit.


If you want to add an arch to a design and the stencil is too big, simply extend the stencil past the design as much as you need until the arch fits.








You can use the center lines as guides to fill the block with beautiful free form feathers...or any design you wish.


Look what happens when you use combine two sets of arches!


I got really crazy here and just used a corner of the stencil and repeated it to create this beautiful pinwheel.  By the way, I used the angles on the circle Ultimate Stencil to line up these corners and it came out perfect.


I have a 38 page, full color e-book that accompanies the purchased set of four stencils that has oodles of instruction and illustrations showing how you can easily create your own beautiful quilting designs using just this one stencil in any of the four sizes.  This book will be added as a separate chapter to the New & Improved design book and will continue to be updated with new designs. 

I am running a five-day sale on this special set of stencils for $25 (normal retail is $30). I will include my 2-book set of quilting designs, New & Improved and Oldies but Goodies, FREE for this sale!  These are e-books and will be sent to you within 24 hours of purchase.  You will also receive by email  the 38 page handbook that accompanies this set of four stencils. This sale will end at midnight on Saturday, August 6th.

Please click HERE to purchase the stencils and download the free 7-page handout. 

Thank you very much for being one of my students, blog stalkers or retreaters!  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Hugs, Cindy :)

What a versatile stencil. Looks like a "must have" for anyone interested in free-motion quilting.

Ordered and waiting excitedly! My first quilting template - if these (and Cindy's expert examples and tutorials) don't get me over my fear of FMQ then I guess nothing ever will!
Hurry up postman - the UK is not that far away...
Thanks for such a great offer
