Here is my latest completed Quilling Project – The Sleeping Baby.

Sometimes when working on a project, I find the finishing details take the longest amount of time and with this project it was the closed eyelid. I went through 23 different versions of that eyelid before I was satisified with it. Special thanks to all my Quilling friends for their comments & suggestions through all those eyelid variations.

Just a reminder if you live in the Saint John, N.B. area you might be interested in attending the Craft Workshop on Thursday (Nov 4th).

Quilling is the topic for this Thursday’s Craft Workshop at the New Brunswick Museum. Details are posted at PaperQuilling.ca under Exhibits and Demonstrations
If you live in the Saint John area, this an an excellent opportunity to meet other quillers and learn some new quilling techniques.

If you are like me, you have a container of quilled flowers made for old projects, but for one reason or other you didn’t use them. I hate throwing out something that is perfectly good except maybe it was the wrong size or the wrong color for what I intended it for, so I store it away to be used another time. I’ll use a few here and there when looking for something to add a finish to a current project, but to use up a lot of this stash of flowers, I’ll make up a batch of simple gift cards. And because you only have to quill a couple of leaves or a stem to add to each card, they can be completed quite fast. Here is a sample of some I recently made.

I had a lot of Folded Roses in my Quilling Box left over from other projects so I decided to make some cards with them.
