Work in Progress: Paper Quilled Sideways Crosses

In addition to adding more paper quilling tutorials to SweetheartsandCrafts.com this year, one of my goals is to tell you more about different projects and new pieces I'm working on.  This is the first of my "work in progress" entries.  I hope you enjoy reading about my creative process!

Buzzfeed Article on Quilling

When I first started quilling I learned a lot from quilling blogs.  Since quilling isn't super well known, at least not in the United States, it wasn't like I could join a quilling circle to discuss my excitement over a new craft I'd discovered.

As a kind of tribute to some of my quilling inspiration blogesses I wrote an article for Buzzfeed about different quilling blogs written by women all over the globe.  I hope you enjoy.

You can find the article here.

"Let's start at the very beginning

A very good place to start
