Paper Quilling

For centuries, people have been quilling. Nuns used gilded edges of bibles to create scrollwork. I began quilling in 2013 when some neighbors formed a Pinterest Craft Club. I had never heard of quilling. It felt like a portable craft. In 2019, I challenged myself to quill every day. I created my heart project. Quilling traveled with me to Alaska, South Dakota, Iowa and to Georgia where we moved. After a decade of  cutting, rolling,  shaping, and gluing paper strips, I still enjoy the process of creating something new from shredded paper.
