Announcing TWO Quilling Book Releases!

Good news, paper quillers! On July 14, just one week from today, two quilling books by veteran how-to-quill authors, Sena Runa and Diane Boden will be released. Enjoy this sneak peek at both books that contain a total of forty wall art and frameable greeting card projects. I'll start with Quilling: 20 Beautiful Designs by Sena Runa, the highly anticipated follow-up to her 2018 title, Quilling Art.

In addition to the wide range of cheerful, modern projects shown on the cover, Sena created patterns for a quilled rainbow, tree, picnic basket, cheesecake (!) and more within the 136 page paperback that cover a range of skill levels. Templates are included and the book will be available in Kindle format too.

There are sections about quilling supplies, creating smooth outlines with card stock, and how to roll quilling strips using both a slotted quilling tool or just your fingers. (Sena is a finger roller, as evidenced by her trademark tightly coiled centers.)

Quilled Animals 20 Cute Creatures to Coil and Shape by Diane Boden, quilling designer and co-owner of UK supply site, JJ Quilling, is a re-release of her whimsical 2015 book, Quilled Animals (Twenty to Make).

As the popularity of quilling has surged in recent years, the sold out edition will be published once again with a new title and cover image (previously it featured an alpaca). Experienced quillers in search of fresh ideas will find an adorable menagerie of paper patterns within the 48 pages. Both paperback and Kindle format will be available.

There are sections that briefly cover tools and materials, as well as techniques. Some of the latter are new to me, such as pointed fringed flowers and long fringing. Each design includes fun details, and like Sena's, Diane's completed projects are examples of perfect quilling.

She shows how to add dimension by layering elements, as seen here with Miss Hippo's flower, eye, and skirt, and the wings, head, legs, and curly tail of the super-cute flying pigs.

So whether you're looking for a relaxing hobby during this stressful time or just need to feed your already established love of paper quilling, these books provide entertaining ideas. I can pretty much guarantee that spending an hour or two with a small stash of paper craft supplies will do wonders for your spirits.
  
Sena Runa's first quilling book is Quilling Art.

Two of Diane Boden's previous titles are Beautiful Quilling Step-by Step and Miniature Quilling. Her quilled chocolates have proven to be extremely popular in the quilling world... wouldn't you be tempted to pop one into your mouth? They're incredibly realistic!
