My Review:
I was excited to review Elizabeth Moad’s book Thrilling Quilling because I have great childhood memories of making quilling projects around the ages that my children are now. I would have loved this book when I was learning quilling. The book is full of full color photos. It is well organized layout. The book begins with an introduction and then explains about paper, equipment, and tools. Then the author explains most of the techniques used in quilling. The author then goes into detail on how to make 15 projects and gives the templates for those projects. In the back of the book is a list of suppliers and materials as well as an index. This book is an excellent sourcebook for quilling and I recommend anyone interested in paper craft to own this book.
