Method

Head Figure 1.
Make two grape rolls, using three 1/8" wide, 6" long strips in flesh-tone
for each roll. Give each of them a rounded appearance by pushing gently
into the center of them with the head of a knitting needle, easing the roll
into a rounded face shape (Figure 1). Using a soft brush, apply a coat of
glue to the insides of the rounded grape rolls and allow them to dry. After
they dry, glue the edges together to make a head shape.

Neck
Make a grape roll using one 1/4" wide, 6" long strip in matching flesh-
tone.

Figure 2. Dress
Glue seven 1/4" wide, 6" long strips end-
to-end. Begin to make a grape roll and
continue to roll it to the first glued seam
(Figure 2).

Continue to roll it until you come to the second glued seam, and then Figure 3.
continue rolling it, pulling the rounds down a little as you go, working
in rounds that are always the same distance apart (Figure 3).

After rolling up to the fourth seam, more or less, if you find it difficult to continue, remove the coil

gently from the tool and continue working, rolling it manually
(Figure 4).

After rolling all seven of the glued strips, glue down the end tip,
and using a soft brush, apply a coat of glue all around the inner
part of the cone.
Sleeves of Dress
With three or four 1/4" wide, 6" long strips for each sleeve, roll the
sleeves, using the same method that was used for the dress, in the
same color as the dress.

Figure 4. Arms
Using a knitting needle or a round toothpick, roll one 1/8" wide, 6"

long strip in matching flesh-tone for each arm. Form a narrow cone-like shape, overlapping the strip

slightly as you continue forming the arm down to the hand area. Remove the knitting needle or

toothpick carefully and apply a little diluted glue inside.

Hands
Make an open coil with one 1/8" wide, 8" long strip in matching
flesh-tone for each hand and shape it into a tear drop.

Hair
Use as many as you need of the 1/4" wide, 1 1/2" long quilling
strips in the color you have chosen for the hair. Cut each strip
into very narrow strips, leaving the tip of each uncut for ease in
gluing. Glue the uncut tips to the sides of the head, beginning at
the bottom and going upwards, Continue gluing them to the back
of the head in the same way, alternating the positions as you go,
to hide the uncut tips. After the hair glue has dried well, gently
curl the hairs by slipping them along the blade of a table knife.
Give the hairdo a final touch-up to your liking by shaping or
snipping off the stray hairs.

Assembling the Doll:
Glue the neck onto the head, which should already have the hair
done. Glue on the dress and the sleeves. Glue on the arms, and
glue the hands into them.

Add to her arms a bouquet of tiny fringed flowers or roses, a hat,
basket, umbrella or some other object of your choice (Figure 5).

Yes, the NAQG is online. Now you may ask, what does “online” mean? Online is a fancy way of saying
that if you go on the internet and you do a search for NAQG, you will see your beloved NAQG there! All
you have to do is click on the link and you will be brought to one of the most wonderful places out there.
Well, I am the webmistress so I have to say that. What is the webmistress? I am the person who spends
hour upon hour trying to keep the website fresh and up-to-date just for you.
I want to share with you the wonders of our website and invite you to an adventure. Come with me — I
would ask that you close your eyes, but then you wouldn’t be able to read the rest! ☺
If you go to the NAQG website, by searching for it or typing in www.naqg.org directly into your browser,
you will be brought to what we call our Home Page. We always have a Featured Artist, anyone can be a
featured artist, all you have to do is ask. Don’t worry if you are shy, part of my job is to ask questions,
and I don’t mind asking people if they would mind being featured. This beautiful quilling is from
Francine Jones, I just wish you could see the intricate detail and layering of her sleek greyhound.

For those weary web travelers who may not know what quilling is, in addition to the featured quilling we
offer them a little about what the NAQG is and an overview of quilling compiled by our very own Sherry
Rodehaver, from A Love Affair with Paper fame.

As we know, once non-quillers see quilling they will not be able to pull themselves away and we will
have yet another join us, so we tempt them with a Gallery of quilled items. Then we offer them a few
Free Patterns, so they are tempted to give it a try. What fun!

But the place I want to bring you to is the place just for you, the Members’ Corner. This is where you
can come, put your feet up, and have a wonderful time.

Oh, so you think that I exaggerate, do you? Let’s see what you think after you see what we have for you.
Put the Quill America newsletter online you say? Well, I have news for you, we already do that. No
exaggeration, it really is there! Now, the history buff in me is excited about the historical value of what
we have here. If you click on the Newsletter Archive link, you will come to a page that has every Quill
America newsletter that we could find. It goes all the way back to the beginning, when it was simply a
letter that was mailed by Pat Caputo. So come and take a look at our history.
What could be more fun than finding lots of quilling patterns? Yes, lots of them, some are from previous
Quill America newsletters, others were provided by members just like you. The only thing that could
make this better is a contribution from you. Here is a project from Ann Martin, isn’t it great?

Are you a fan of the Love Affair with Paper series by Sherry Rodehaver? Yeah, so am I. Well, you can
find all of them in one place, right here. This is a picture of what you will see on the website, all you
have to do is click on the Articles link and you will see this:

Then, click on the words A Love Affair with Paper and you will get to see all of Sherry’s articles. Now
isn’t that a wonderful thing?

As a member of the NAQG all of this can be yours. How, you ask? Just call, write, or email me and I will
get you set up right quick, because you will need a username and password to get in.

I can’t wait to see you there!
