A Demonstration of Quilling – Meggin Borger was the guest speaker for our September meeting and showed the group the art of Quilling. She learned it many years ago from her great aunt and enjoys making a variety of projects, crafts and gifts. Meggin participates in two craft shows each year and tonight was her first demonstration/instructional experience. She said she enjoyed sharing her craft because everyone was so interested! Her work was beautiful! Each of these pieces take hours of work with narrow pieces of paper and precision tools plus a dab of glue all to make some lovely creations. She showed the members how to make the small pieces that are used to build a larger craft.
