We had “snow” much fun quilling this past Saturday at the Christmas Quilling Workshop. I just had to take a moment and show off the wonderful projects the students made. They did such a great job!
Our next class will be Janaury 22 when we’ll learn more quilling techniques (like pom-poms and fringed flowers) to make Valentines.

A very dear friend of mine, Sharon Foster (who, incidentally was my very first quilling student), has just opened a working studio in Hiram, Georgia, and has agreed to let me use the space to teach quilling classes. Since it is a private studio, there won’t be the annoying distractions that frequently accompany classes taught in a big box store, such as loudspeaker announcements or gawking onlookers. Instead, you’ll learn quilling in a fun, casual atmosphere.
Not only is the space great, but teaching out of the studio allows me the flexibility to offer classes that work with your busy schedule. I can even customize a class just for you. Need to plan a fun activity for girls night out? Are you in charge of your friend’s baby or bridal shower and want to Wow the guests with specialty favors? Let me know what type of class you’d like and I’ll do my best to make it happen.
Christmas Quilling Workshop
Since the holidays are right around the corner, the first class will be a Christmas Quilling Workshop. Projects include a Christmas card, tag, and gift card holder. Please note that these quilling patterns will be totally different from those offered through Marietta Community School, so even if you took a previous class, I invite you to come learn something new.
All skill levels are welcome; beginners can learn the basics of quilling, and more advanced quillers can improve their skills and enjoy new projects.
Here are the details:
-
What: Christmas Quilling Workshop
-
When: Saturday, November 6th, 1:00-4:00pm
-
Where: Studio Foster, 3595 Hiram
Douglasville Highway Suite 225, Hiram GA 30141. Visit
http://www.studiofoster.net for directions and more information about the studio.
-
Cost: $30 (includes all project materials and use of quilling tools)
I am limiting the class size to 6 so that everyone will get all the guidance they need to be successful in this class. Please
contact me to reserve your space, or to ask any questions you may have.
I look forward to meeting you and sharing an afternoon of fun as we quill together.

I will once again be teaching quilling classes this fall through the Marietta Community School, the continuing education division of Marietta City Schools. The classes will be taught at Marietta High School, Marietta, GA.
-
Quilling I — Beginner/Fall (Thursday, Sept 23, 6:00-8:30pm)
-
Quilling I — Beginner/Halloween (Tuesday, Oct 5, 6:00-8:30pm)
-
Quilling I — Beginner/Christmas (Tuesday, Oct 12, 6:00-8:30pm)
-
Quilling II — Christmas Cards (Thursday, Nov 4, 6:00-8:30pm, Prerequisite: Any Quilling I Class)
In each Quilling I class I’ll talk briefly about the history of quilling and show samples of the various quilling papers, tools, and books available. Next, I’ll teach the students how to make the basic coils and scrolls used most in quilling as they complete a shape chart to take home for reference. We’ll make one project in class and the students will go home with a pack of multi-colored quilling paper, a slotted quilling tool, plenty of informational handouts, and enough materials to complete two more projects so they can keep quilling after the class. Check out the class projects for the Halloween and Christmas classes.
The Quilling II — Christmas Cards class is for students who already know the basic coils and scrolls, but want more practice. We’ll work on three quilled Christmas cards (original designs different than those provided in the Quilling I — Beginner/Christmas class).
You can check out the
MCS online course catalog for complete registration information. If you live in the area, I would like to personally invite you to join me for a wonderful evening of quilling.
