Gotta ask! What sort of "quilting stencil" are you asking about? If you are talking about a pattern to follow when you do the quilting on a completed top--------it's very common to make your own.
Take a piece of fairly durable "stuff" like maybe a manila folder . Draw the pattern you like. then take the folder to the sewing machine, set at your longest stitch length and sew --------sans thread---------------to make holes in your folder to use to mark on your quilt top.
