Noted literary figures, the Bronte sisters, were quillers! And another popular author of the same era, Jane Austen, refers to quilling in 'Sense and Sensibility', when Eleanor Dashwood offers to roll papers for Lucy Steele, who is working on a filigree basket.
Quilling is also mentioned in "The Barchester Chronicles." (Contributed by Rosie Graham)

Quilling Tips:
When mounting whole designs as opposed to individual coils, use a small flat plate or lid covered with a THIN film of glue. Using bent-tipped tweezers, place your finished piece on the plate to coat the bottom paper edges, carefully lift off, and position on your card or scrapbook. It's especially useful for tendrils and vines or other small embellishments. But this technique would be difficult without the tweezers! -GSQ
