I made my own Christmas cards for close friends and family last Christmas and I looked on Flickr for ideas as it was the first time I’ve ever made cards. I saw some great ones made using quilling and instantly wanted to learn how to do it.

I haven’t got round to trying to quill yet but maybe this evening I’ll have a go. I don’t suppose I’ll be able to do anything as good as the examples in these pictures.

I do love trying new crafts. I knit, cross-stitch and do other kinds of embroidery, patchwork to name a few.

This short book, Miniature Quilling is helpful and can get you started.
