Hi my name is Sandy Baughman and my Journey with Quilling began approximately 35 years ago with the creation of my best friend’s wedding invitation which I enhanced with Quilling. Over the years of dabbling with many different types of mediums such as egg art, knitting, jewelry making and the list goes on…… I had a conversation with an artist friend one day and told her I wanted to do something special with this creative gift I had been given. I remember her words. She told me to go home and get rid of everything EXCEPT one medium that really had my heart. I actually did that and my quilling paper won!!!!! Since that day I have exceeded all my limits I put on my abilities which has got me to where I am today, excited for the future.
Part of my future includes the beginning of Paper Filigree. Its a new paper strip business. I offer quilling strips that are 19" long in a variety of colors with more added periodically.
Quilling is dated back to the 13th century in Europe where furniture was decorated with intricate scroll work. I feel it is an honor to have the gift to continue this centuries old art.
