Fringe Chick

I made this chick for my second daughter, Lynn, after I attempted one for my oldest, Alyssa. As you scroll down you will see how big it is. I used the fringe technique and typical quilling shapes.










I was inspired by some 3D animals from Inna's website. I'm not sure how she made hers, so I tried to guess. It turned out pretty good. I think I will try again using some different methods.

Three New Valentine Cards

A Valentine Card for Alyssa's Teacher. Inspired by a tea candle votive.













A Valentine card for Alyssa's School Principal.















This is trying out a new technique I just learned. This was used in all three cards.

Valentine Cards 2012

These are my most recent projects. I wanted to make some Valentines Day Cards. I think my daughters will be giving these to their teachers. I also wanted to have a quilling night with some friends from church so I made these as examples. This flower took the longest. The cards are 4" X 4" squares.

Foil Anniversery Present

My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Which is the aluminum year. So I decided to make this for him using aluminum foil and black poster board. Now I don't recommend quilling with foil as it is very difficult, but if you have patience and a soft touch you can make something like this. Keep in mind this is my second attempt at foil quilling. My first try, which is what my husband got for a present, didn't turn out the way I planned.


Roses and Tulips are very meaningful to us, so that is why I used them.

I used the roses and leaves from Inna's Creations website.

The tulips are mine.

I don't consider this piece as complete yet. We want to get a new photo and I will then add some more to the tulip section. I'll keep you posted.

Sunflower and Lady Bug

A friend of mine asked about a sunflower from a different website. Here was my version with the little lady bug.

I cut my own strips of paper and I use 8 1/2" X 11" cardstock. The flower and stem is composed of 1/8" strips. The red part of the lady bug was a little thicker strip and the body was a little thinner, to give it dimension. There are also some fringed pieces in the seed portion that were cut from 1/4" X 1" strips, approx. It is mounted on 8 1/2" X 11" cardstock.

Chess Pieces

Sorry for the terrible pictures. I know my camera can do better than this.

I decided before last Christmas that I would make my husband a chess set for Christmas because he loves to play chess and is always telling me that he wants a cool set. Needless to say he did not get it for Christmas. This is the first half and I still need to finish the other one. I will continue to add more as I complete the set and boxes.













This is the King. 2 3/8" tall





















This is the Queen. 2 1/8" tall



















This is the Bishop. 1 15/16" tall





















This is the Knight. 1 15/16" tall



















Knight from the back.




















This is the Rook. It's the first piece I made. 1 1/4" tall


















Rook another view.







The Pawns are 1 1/8" tall.


Each piece is very sturdy and has either a toothpick or metal rod going though the middle. I used mostly paper I purchased from the scrap-booking section of JoAnns or Michaels. This has been fun and I look forward to finishing this project. This page is where is got my inspiration to start this project. But as you can see, my designs are my own. Thanks.

My First Quilling Project

This is a compilation of many of the first flowers I ever attempted to make. I would quill a flower and pretty soon I had all these flowers floating around, so I decided to put them all together in this. So as you can see even a beginner can create something beautiful. The Bee and frame are inspired by another website I love to go to. Here is her page. http://increations.blogspot.com/

Hello All,
