Review
"Bartkowski's [Paper Quilling for the First Time] first quilling project was a flower. The art of coiling, rolling, and shaping paper strips lends itself to flower designs. This collection of projects showcases ways to embellish a variety of decorative items and accessories with quilled flowers. Getting started is easy: only a few supplies are needed, and Bartkowski provides information on all of the basics of forming and shaping paper into floral designs. VERDICT Quilling books are fairly rare, and this is a nice one.
Many of the projects would also make attractive wedding crafts--always a popular category." --Library Journal

I've been awaiting for this book to be released and after receiving it yesterday, I can already say it's amazing! I've been quilling for several years and love the way it enhances my greeting cards, but THIS goes way beyond cards. The flowers and projects in this book look just beautiful. Paper is my passion and whatever you can do with paper intrigues me. I've recently started making paper beads and jewelry and this book even has beautiful jewelry to make with quilled flowers. I'm just itching to start a project using the book! Oh, if only there were more hours in a day!!! For anyone who quills, this is a book far beyond all others!

This is my first book on quilling, I usually just find patterns online or the library (not many to choose from) and give it a try. I was looking for more instruction to up my skills instead of "winging" it. I am so excited about this book! Pages 6 thru 20 give a nice introduction, quilling basics, materials, tools, techniques, basic quilled shapes and basic quilled scrolls. The next 107 pages are 35 beautifully photographed projects. Each project tells you what you need, the quilling shapes you'll be doing, what you do and templets of actual size for each shape along with many pictures showing great details from different angles.
The way this book is written and photographed it would be ideal for almost any level of quilling, espically beginners.
This is an absolutely wonderful quilling book!
