Great overview of quilling. Amazing, creative designs! Exciting inspiration.
If you have any interest in quilling, this is a fun book. Projects are not too "country" the way other books and kits tend to be. There is a range of historical and contemporary styles. This book is neat for the novice but geared for more complex quillers. Beware, this is not much of a step-by-step manual though. More for ideas!

Beautiful to look at and fun to try!

This book has several advanced techniques not found or not explained in other quilling books. It is a great "next step" book for those who have already used the basic techniques. It is also a great inspiration to show beginners what can be done with quilling. The designs are elegant and interesting, not cute and they don't look like they came from 1970.

Some of these patterns are truely lovely. I especially liked the Victorian Fan. Most of the book deals with somewhat more advanced techniques. Examples of quilled dolls and boxes look a little beyond the beginner, but there are a number of other motifs that should appeal to the novice.

As a beginner, this book will ensure I'm not a beginner for long! What wonderful illustrations and instructions! I had no idea there were this many techniques and styles. It's nice to know there really is no limit to what one can create with a little knowledge and a lot of imagination. Highly recommended.

This book by Jane Jenkins is wonderful. Some might call it the next level. I think of it as a new dimension. Her style is open, bold, and modern. The quilling is lovely to look at. I found instructions for several techniques that were new to me. I've enjoyed working them into my latest projects. This isn't a pattern book (although there are a few). It really is a technique and inspiration book.

This book definitely illustrates quilling skills that will guide you beyond the basics. Photos in the book demonstrate various tools which could enable you to create more precise shapes. The projects in this book are broken down into each essential paper shape and element with numbered steps. Specific tips and techniques are provided for each of the basic shapes. Ultimately you are able to manipulate the paper with far greater control. Once assembled you will discover beautiful art pieces with a delicate filigree appearance. The projects in this book are more sophisticated and offer you designs that yield heirloom-quality results.

This ios the best book I have seen for beginning quilling and advancing. It has a lot of techniques and great illustrations. I would reccomend

Quilling, by Jane Jenkins, gives a lot of information in a small space. The instructions are easy to follow, and the illustrations are clear. It is a book that both beginners (like me) and advanced quilling artists will enjoy.

I began quilling to learn a new craft for scrapbooking. I wasn't planing to do anymore than that. This book inspired me into getting into this craft more indepth. There's a beautiful fan in here that I started working on to hang up in my home. There's a lot of new techniques and ideas in this book that other quilling books don't get into. If your a quiller and don't have this book, I think your missing out on some intervative ideas. There's also good ideas for embelishments for scrapbooking too. Beware- This is not an easy book. Some of the techniques are more complicated than in the "beginers" books. But if your willing to practice I don't think you would regret it.

This was my first quilling book.....it shouldn't have been. In my opinion, it is for more experienced quillers, not beginners. I now own several other books that have taught me step by step how to quill less complicated designs and designs that I prefer. Her artwork is VERY beautiful, but I'm a simple gal who just wants to quill small projects like cards or small crafts. It's a great book for showing you how lovely an art quilling is, but is not as practical as others that I own. It's a wonderful part of my crafting library, but not the one I pull out first. If you are just starting out, you might want to look at others first.
