Teaching Aids
This is a brief history compiled from a variety of sources, since it is only one page, it serves well as a hand out for talks, demos and classes.
Basic Shape Chart
This chart was originally designed for the Accord calendar. We put them in with class packs since so many of the basic coils are included.
Basic Open Coils
This lists the basic open coils and how to make them. It also shows some simple designs that can be made using the basic closed and open coils. I used this as a handout for a two day quilling workshop I gave in Hawaii at the request of the Fiber Arts and Stitchery Guild of hawaii.
Basic Closed Coils
This is another handout I did for Hawaii, this one give instructions for making basic closed coils. Since I was only in Hawaii for a short time I wanted the hand outs to be a complete as possible for studentds to bring home with them, although I would be willing to go back and teach a "refresher" course.
Husking, Wheatears, & Alternate Sidelooping
This is another instruction sheet I put together for the workshop in Hwaii. We actually took the worksheet and put it on styrofoam "work boards" so studente could try husking with pins.
Whimsiquills Color Equivelncey Chart
Now that there is more than one source for quilling strips, we put this chart together to show which colors are actually the same. We are replacing some of our English colors with American colors Paplin Products have found for us. The discontinued colors are on our BLOWOUT SALE page at great prices.
Whimsiquills Blank Shape Chart
Use this chart when learning to quilling and making shapes. Or use this chart for your class so that students can practice different shapes in different sizes
Quilling Paper Strips, Different Sizes, & Uses
The different widths in quilling strips are sometime confusing especially to the newbies. We thought this might be helpful
Wider Papers, Different Sizes & Uses
We carry quite a variety of sizes in quilling strips, these wider strips are perfect for border and larger flower punches. We also carry accessory sheets in most colors which can be used for really large punches or backrounds.
Other Uses For Quilling Strips
Here is a demo sheet showing some of the different ways quilling strips can be used (besides for quilling). Think outside the box! My daughter, who is not a quiller, used 1/8" navy blue strips to create pin stirps on her Yankee scrapbook pages. They were awesome!
Coaster/ Paper Weights
These are just some "thought starter"designs for the acrylic coasters we carry. I am workng on pattern instructions for the designs shown since so many people have asked for them.
Mini Frame Novelties
These tiny (about 2" wide) plastic frames a great for inexpenxive class projects, ornaments, or party favors..

Paper & Pre made quills Storage
Bulletin Board Storage
When I frist started quilling, this is how I stored all of my papers. I could take the bulletine boards (I had more than one) with me into any room, and when I was finished, i pulled plastic trash bags over them and stuck them in the closet.
Storage of Pre Made Quills
I always try to have some flowers made ahead, expecially my roses, since they are time consuming. On days when I am taking it easy, I will spend the day making roses so I am ready for the next "rush" order.
Storage Chest for Pre Made Quills
Thank goodness for Home Depot! These chests were made for nuts and bolts, but are perfect for my precut strips, 1.5", 3", 6", and extra flowers or punched pieces. They are labeled and arranged by color.
Pre Cut, Fringed Strips, Pre Punched
This doesn't look too impressive, but it is really very organized.I have quilled coils, punched shapes and precut strips in each drawer I can open a drawer and pull out just what I need to make a gift card quickly. .
Stackable Storage Chest
These chests line one (actually two) walls of the Whimsiquills room, They contain all of my English paper inventory. All four widths fit in these drawers perfectly. Once again the drawers are arranged by color/nimber.
Stackable Storage Chest
Just a view of inside the storage drawers
Quilling Paper Inventory Stored
We have 2 1/2 rooms of hanging paper inventory, again arranged by color/number.
Open/ In use papers stored around Whimsiquills Room
These are the open papers I use for my work. I have a strip with nails which is right under the display board and keep all four sizes of the same color on each nail. It is very convenient and keeps the strips nice and straight.

Whimsiquills Design Display Wall
This sample wall comes in very handy for customers who want to see the different designs avaiable. They can see what their photo or invite will look like in any given design.

Wall Picture #2
Some of the samples have glass (hence the reflection), but since they are used and moved so frequently, I will probably manage to break that glass as well.
Patricia's Work Desk
This is my drafting table, which my chiropractor says is the best way for me to work. I did have to put multiple lips on the table so those #*! round tools would stop rolling off onto the floor. Although i guess bending over to pick them up is good exercise too.
