Here is some info I found about Quilling:
Quilling is the rolling and shaping of narrow strips of paper to form coils
which are then assembled to form many differing designs.
Quilling or paper filigree is an old craft dating from around the middle ages
when it would have been mainly carried out by cloistered religious orders. in
Europe who had access to handmade papers.
In the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the craft was very popular
amongst fashionable ladies especially in England when items such as tea caddies,
pictures and small pieces of furniture were crafted. The ladies magazines of the
period often printed patterns for paper filigree and a filigree basket is
mentioned by Jane Austen in her novel Sense and Sensibility.(1811)
Today the craft is popular world wide especially in Britain, Holland and the
United States. We now have a variety of colorful papers accurately machine cut
to craft greetings cards and pictures.
