When I first started quilling
again, after over 25 years of my quilling supplies being tucked into a closet, I
discovered quillers were using old CD's to display their quilling. Great way to
recycle. Since then, I have also recycled boxes found at the Thrift Store and
other items such as gift wrap and abused children's story books and even vintage
sheet music and party streamers. Here are some of the things I have made.
Most of the small photos below link to
larger ones, just click the photos. Some photo captions have links back to the
original project page for the item.

I received a request to use one of my pictures (the one top left,
Daggi's birthday "card") for a poster advertising an event of the Les
Cercles de Fermières, which is the oldest women's association in Quebec
(almost 100 years old). The poster which was created is bottom left. The
event was October 2, 2016. I consider it an honor to have had my quilling presented in
such a unique way.

Here is a Google translation of the blog
post published by L'Île-Bizard Farmers' Circle after the event:
The workshop paperwork within the framework of the Journées de la
Culture in Ile-Bizard: a success!
This Sunday was held in the library
of LÎle-Bizard the activity organized by the Cercle de Fermières
Île-Bizard as part of the Journées de la Culture.
Participation was
a delight for our organizing members, who showed their day-long students
the technique of quilling. The participants enjoyed the experience and
their works testify to it.
Next year for another beautiful craft
activity. |
