Quilled Retro Valentine Tutorial

Take some patterned and solid color paper... add a rolled heart flower to make a non-fussy Valentine. Perhaps lasso a child to help - they usually love quilling!


Supplies are so simple for this one... chances are good you have everything you'll need already on hand.

Yes! A quilling cruise!

Last week I heard from Jean Smith of British Columbia about what just might be the first quilling cruise ever. She and her friend, Joan Rombough, members of a quilling group in Victoria, are extending the invitation to all quillers. The Volendam will depart Vancouver for Alaska on July 6th and return on the 13th. You don't have to be interested in paper quilling to join the group... spouses, relatives, friends, and neighbors are all welcome. Book through Jean and Joan's agent, Vanessa.

  2. How sweet and simple. I enjoyed the tutorial ,you make it so interesting. I love the way you have used a pen and tooth pick to roll and cut strips from an old postcard .And you are right kids do love to quill. They learn just by watching.

  14. I love quilling. I have only done paper quilling and not much of it but I am learning. I use it on cards that I make and I wish more people would use it.
