  front

Welcome!

The buttons are on the right. For example: click on the "gallery"-button on the right (Articles in English). You will see a lot of techniques. Click with your mouse on one of the lines and there they are: my cards!
In May 2005 I started my quillingsite and up and until March 2011 I had 39,543 visitors! 58% from abroad. I hope a lot of people will be inspired by all information on my quilling-website.
New cards and freestandings are added almost weekly to the Gallery. Below the Dutch starting page (home) there is a list with links to all new cards.

September 17th and 18th 2011, I met a lot of quillingfriends, old and new, in Ixworth and Great Barton! Click on my AGM-badge and you can take a look at my photos of the 28th Annual General Meeting and the Shared Ideas Day. You can also click the button "fotoboek" in the upper part of the menu.

I hope to meet them again this year, visiting the AGM!


The Quilling Guild's customary Annual Display of Quilling and AGM will be held next year on Saturday, 15 September.

On the following day, Sunday, quillers are invited to a 'Shared Ideas Day'.

2 Huskings in Quilling for cards
Updated: 29 jan 2009

Eerste boekjeHuskings are filigree shapes which are wound around pins in a certain pattern. All the patterns are given in my bilingual book "Quilling for cards" are easy to use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Quilling for cards"Quillingboekje

 

I designed a series of huskings and made cards with them.
Huskings are quillingshapes made by using pins and winding paperstrips following various patterns.
With these shapes you can make wonderful flowers, butterflies and other figures.
The patterns are all in the book and are easy to use.
Be surprised by the versatility of quilling!

This bilingual book is published in Dutch as well as in English.


 

 

 In the "MEGA wenskaartenboek" (Dutch), released in April 2007, you will find a complete chapter with 20 new huskingcards and patterns.

3 Dutch Quilling Guild
Updated: 24 apr 2010

The Dutch Quilling Guild is a national association which was founded in January 1989.
Two times per year somewhere in the country an activity day is organized. Members can display their quilling projects and it's possible to do some quilling yourself at the "do-table" and meet other quillers. Some members will demonstrate their skills. At the various trade stands you may find the most beautiful colours of paper strips, the latest quillingbooks and tools.

verdraaid

The Guilds magazine “Verdraaid” appears four times a year. It is made for, but especially by members. All cards and other entries will be published anyhow. Some of the designs in “Verdraaid” are just drawings to stimulate your fantasy and others have a detailed description. Furthermore you can read any recent information about the Guild and all details about future activity days and   other events where the Guild is present with a stand. Also several sales addresses of quilling materials are mentioned.

 

The contribution for the membership of the quillingassociation amounts to Euro 25,00 per year including Euro 2,00 registration fee (one time only).
The association year runs of 1 July up to and including 30 June of the next year.

For information concerning the membership you can contact

5 Basics: closed coils / scrolls
Updated: 02 mrt 2009

To make coils that are all the 
same size, a quilling board is easy to use.

 

image10_e  1. Tight coil/peg/circle/roll
Roll up a strip as tight as possible and glue the loose end. Try to make the centre as small as you can.
 image11_e  2. Closed coil/spiral
Roll up a strip. Glue the loose end after the shape has been loosened, by hand or with the help of a quilling board.

All further shapes will be made with the closed coil/spiral.
 cc12  3. Teardrop
Make a closed coil and pinch one end between your thumb and index finger.
 cc13  4. Flame/curved teardrop
Make a teardrop (no. 3) and bend the pinched end to one side.
 cc14  5. Oval
Make a closed coil and push it into shape, but do not pinch it.
 cc15  6. Eye
Same as no. 2, but now use both hands to pinch both ends firmly at the same time.
 cc16  7. Leaf/S-shape
Same as no. 5, but bend both ends in opposite directions.
 cc17  8. Petal
Bend the closed coil round a fingernail.
 cc18  9. Moon/Crescent
Bend the closed coil round your finger or something like a dowel and then pinch both ends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6 Basics: loose coils / scrolls
Updated: 30 dec 2008

Roll a paperstrip from one or both ends. Roll in the same or the opposite direction. Alternatively glue several open coils together.

Basics open 1-3   1. Single loose coil/scroll
Roll a part of a strip and alternatively use it with a straight end or bend it a little bit. 
 2. V-shape
Fold a strip in half and roll both ends out.
 3. Closed V-shape/feelers
Same as no.2, but now glue the straight ends of the strip together so the spirals end up next to eachother.
 Basics Open 4-6 4. Open heart/heart scroll
Fold a strip in half and roll both ends in.
 5. Closed heart/heart scroll
Same as no. 4, but now glue the spirals together.
 6. C-scroll
Roll both ends of the strip in the same direction towards the center. Leave it straight or bend it a bit.
 Basics Open 7-9 7. S-shape/S-scroll
Roll both ends of a strip in opposite directions towards the center.
 8. Double tendril/scroll
Fold a strip off-centre and roll both ends in the same direction. If desired glue together in the middle and bend a little bit.

7 Start quilling now!
Updated: 30 dec 2008

Did you ever buy or receive quillingpaper as a present and you still don't know what to do with it?
Have you ever been a quillingqueen or quillingking, but you forgot some of the techniques?
I will show you some basics.....

aan de slag

For every quilling shape goes: the size of the shape depends on the length of the paperstrip used. The longer the strip, the bigger the shape.
I do realize that all over the world different names are being used for basic quilling shapes. I would like to make this list as complete as possible. And I could use your help to accomplish that. So if you know any other names for the shapes mentioned or if you have a better way of describing it, please let me know and I will add it. Thank you for your help.

17 Gallery - introduction

 lettercode  description

 example

 sv

sv – stansvormen = punch shapes


Punch shapes are shapes of cardboard or paper that are punched out by machines. A wide variety of shapes is possible, from ordinary rectangles, squares, circles and ovals to flowers, leaves, animals, Christmas bells etc.

 

F-sv-24

 w

w – webbing


Webbing is a technique where you fix sequins with beads and embroidery threads on to a frame. The shape of the frame is also cut out of the card and by working from one end to the other and back you create a kind of (spiders-)web.

 

F-w-5

 o

o – ornare = pricking


Webbing is a technique where you prick a motive on the inside of a card using a template or a pattern. The relief on the front of the card is now ready to be decorated with quilling.

 

F-o-6

 ov


ov – ornare-vellum = pricking parchment


The same technique as ORNARE, but now you use parchment to prick.

 

F-ov-3

 ps

ps – pricking and stamping


Prick a pattern (see ornare) from the book of Leane de Graaf: "Prikmotieven rond bloemen en blaadjes" (Prickingpatterns round flowers and leaves) ISBN 90 5945 089 2. Then stamp a few leaves and branches and complete the card with quillingflowers.rick.

 

F-ps-1

 br

br – borduurrand = embroidery border


Prick a border using a template or a pattern and embroider it. You can also add small beads.
