Quilled Ring Bearer's Pillow
I made this little pillow from a lightweight cream satin with a lace ruffle, pulled down in the center, top and bottom with pearls. Then I used simple but elegant quilled and velum punched flowers to embellish it The parchment quilling strips that came in the August kit were perfect for a soft, vintage feel to these projects. You could change the colors and shape, maybe a heart whatever you like for the pillow and the quilled elements, for your specific needs. The pearls could be changed out for crystals or even buttons to change the look. The quilling is glued on the fabric with Zip Dry clear glue, and it holds well.
The corners of the pillow have the same motifs with satin bows also, and the rings are tied in the center. Maybe it will be carried in our family's next wedding. Saving it for my daughters or grandaughters to use. I loved working with these beautiful strips that have now become a must have in my stash!

Quilled Fuschia Gazebo
I added some folded roses out of soft yellow pearlescent strips and punched leaves to continue the arbor feel. The fuchsia flowers were made by quilling and shaping four coils into a "s" shape marquis for the top of the flower. Then I quilled a bell shape, gluing the inside to keep it's shape and added some flower stamens. You could use quilling strips for this if you like. Another small marquis for the very top of the flower and then some quilled leaves and tendrils.
The very top of the gazebo has just a small amount of embellishment because of the heat that rises from the tea light and I didn't want any problems with paper and fire!! After testing it and watching carefully, the openness of the top didn't pose any problems with the few quilled flowers at the top. I used the purple ribbon from the kit to finish off the finial. It casts a pretty pattern of candlelight when lit. Hop on over to Custom Quilling and see what other projects have been made with this months kit for your inspiration!
I have been working away and have about a weeks worth of cards already finished! I got a new toy and have been playing with it. I will show you in another post along with the cards the next few days, so check back and see.

Quilling Tole
I have another project to show you. My oldest daughter had taken an interest in card making and I helped her a bit to make a card for her mother-in-law for mother's day. This is actually her third card, but she didn't get a picture of the first two. The open roses are punched from coffee filter and painted with Twinkling H2O's. She chose the design, papers and made the flowers. I think she did a great job and she was happy with the results. So off to sit at my craft table for a bit and finish up a project that I started before all the drama! Back later.
Shalom,
Sonya

Quilled Rose Heart Card
I added two quilled hearts in the center of the bow for more "heartyness", sorry, couldn't resist. They are two quilled teardrops glued together at the pointed ends, then I wrapped them in a contrasting crimped strip. Lastly I glued them on to a white cloth wrapped floral wire and just stuck them in the center of the bow. Quick and easy!
Thanks for your support and sweet comments. I am taking an online class for water coloring my images and I can't wait to show you some of the practice pieces! More about the class later. I just wanted to get the short post up. See you tomorrow!

These little boxes are easy to make and the designs are endless! If you make one, post a link in the comments below to share, I'd love to see it!
