I received this DRC from NetGalley.

I wasn't sure what to expect, since I've never tried quilling before. It was a nice surprise to see some beginner projects that actually looked nice and not just overly simple/lame. It's also a very approachable art, only needing a few things to get started. This has clear photography and instructions on how to do some different techniques. And it looks like even for more complicated compositions, it's more time consuming than it is difficult to learn.

I've had an interest in quilling for a while. This book is a decent start for beginners. It goes over the tools you need and how to use them, the main shapes you'll use, and then goes into projects. The tone of the book is conversational, like a friend sitting down to teach you. There are a lot of very clear pictures, and every project has a template at the back. The section at the end showing more advanced projects by members of the Quilling Guild and the Quirky Quillers Collective was a lovely inspiration for what can be possible with some patience and practice. The addition of a few suppliers and guilds is nice, though may become outdated as stores and guilds open and close. The theme of going through the year was kind of fun, with projects that follow the season. The "Four Seasons Mandala" didn't quite have as much colour to denote all four seasons and felt more like two seasons to me, but it's still beautiful and colours can be altered when made yourself. All told, if you're thinking about getting into Quilling, definitely check this book out. I read this digital book on NetGalley.

Many of us took up quilling a number of years ago. We made a few pieces and stopped. In fact, someone gave me a quilling enhanced, framed, invitation to my wedding. It still hangs in my hallway. So I was intrigued to see this book.

There are such fun projects in this book! Pumpkin, dragon fly, penguins, rainbows, snowflakes, ice cream sundaes... I was so inspired by this book, I ordered quilling paper and a took kit to start quilling again. Some of the projects are easy. The one that I really aspire to is the all-season mandala.

I'm very excited to get started quilling again for gift cards, ornaments, and whatever.

As a beginner, this book has some awesome steps to advance my skills. It is also great for anyone that is just learning to do quilling. It is quite a rewarding hobby!

There are instructions that are very clear, with photos to help the crafter learn this awesome skill. At the end of the book, there are templates that will help guide you when you are making your quilling projects. I find that to be super helpful so we can keep on track with what we are doing. The visuals in the book is definitely something to utilize. Overall, an excellent book with the how-tos and the supplies necessary for the projects.
