It's versatility offers many possibilities and Jane Jenkins has brought together a tasteful collection of designs and projects, with many step-by-step photographs, patterns and clear text. She shows how to make Art Nouveau and fantasy figures, Victorian fans, butterflies, candlestick holders and more. The beautiful, intricate and delicate filigreed patterns and pictures she creates are original and unique - and guaranteed to get you 'rolling'.

I have just been engrossed in Jane Jenkins' book and I'm amazed by what I see. Wonderful pictures of quillings that I thought I could never achieve but, with the excellent instructions and step by step photos, I can't wait to start. I love the wizard. I can hardly believe he was made of quilling. The projects seem to cover all the methods I knew about but they seem to go further. This is a splendid book!

I'm a relative beginner but I've managed to make the fan on the front cover already. The instructions are so clear and easy to understand.
A few readers on the US site say this is a 'next step' book but I didn't find it daunting at all. Recommend 100%.

This is a step up from other quilling books. There are clear photos and explanations which lead you to make quilled pictures, cards and figures that are a welcome challenge. The tone of the teaching is personal but practical too. You learn so much. I hope there is another book to come.

Quilling Techniques By Jane Jenkins
A good book for those who have been quilling for years, or even a beginner. I am one of the former, but still learnt more. Well worth a read from cover to cover.
