Christmas Quilling How-to Book by Elizabeth Moad

Yay - a new book! Many quillers rely on books for fresh ideas and it's been far too long between titles. Perhaps you're familiar with Thrilling Quilling, The Papercrafter's Bible, Cards For Men and Boys, or Quick and Clever Christmas Cards... all of these are books by expert paper crafter, Elizabeth Moad.




Christmas Quilling is Elizabeth's brand new, self-published book that features twenty step-by-step quilled projects and sixty card designs. There's no need to be concerned about the self-published aspect, as there is nothing amateur about the book's presentation and content.




I've been reading Elizabeth Moad's blog for quite some time and have been impressed by her books, so was excited when she offered to send me a copy.

Elizabeth has included all of the information a beginner will need, from supplies to shape making, in addition to some neat, new techniques, even for those with plenty of experience. For example, wait until you see her realistic fir branches!

The project ideas run the gamut from cute to classy. If fact, if I had to find something to quibble about, it's that the cover doesn't quite convey the modern ideas you'll find inside, many of which are novel and elegant. I love this topiary with gilded pears.



Elizabeth will be sending an autographed copy to three lucky commenters who live in the U.S., Canada, or the UK. To enter, just leave a comment by the end of Monday, September 13th telling why you would like to win. Earn up to three extra entries by mentioning the giveaway on Twitter, Facebook, and/or your blog. Winners will be selected by a random number generator.

The reasonably priced book is available in the UK via Amazon UK and Amazon in the U.S. Next week I'll be posting an interview with Elizabeth that I think you'll enjoy.

  6. Oh Ann, you have made my day! I didn't know that Elizabeth had a blog, let alone that she actually lives here in the UK and runs workshops! I shall be following closely from now on. 'Thrilling Quilling' is one of my favourite sources of inspiration, and her Christmas book would definitely be the icing on the cake for me!

  62. This book would be a tremendous asset in helping me raise awareness for the art of quilling paper. This city is rich with art and people who love art, but no one has yet to take paper quilling seriously. Even our craft stores have done away with quilling material and tools! I would love to complete as many projects from this book as possible and donate them to craft stores locally so our papercrafting-deprived city could see the beauty and forgotten wonder of paper quilling here in Roanoke, VA. This is a fantastic opportunity!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Oooh! What beautiful work! As a new quiller, i am still facinated by everything. I haven't done much for Christmas and would love to learn.

  81. Good evening from Missouri USA, we found your website from the Design Sponge site and I was delighted to see that you have embellished wedding stationary using Quilling. I discovered this skill about 5 months ago (in Ireland where I spend half the year) and have entertained myself for hours with it in Missouri. My fiance & I really like the effect of it but never thought to incorporate it into our wedding invites, hence we would really like to win your book - to basically plunder some of your ideas if you don't think it is too much of a cheek!!
    Fingers crossed Maggie and Michael

    ReplyDelete
  82. I've been in denial for weeks, putting off starting all the quilling I want to do for Christmas. Winning this beautiful book would be a fabulous way to snap me out of it. And then I could spend three months making lovely pear trees.

    Ann your blog is wonderful. It is so well written. (Do you have some secret past life that involved writing?) And the treasures you find for us are amazing! Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Thanks so much for entering, everyone! The winners have been announced.

    Maggie and Michael, best wishes on your wedding and if you have any quilling questions, you know where to find me.

    Kathleen, thanks so much. I was a hospital med/surg nurse in my previous life, but enjoy writing quite a lot.
