    The paper craft is qwilling. I once took an adult ed class to learn "old" needlework techniques. We learned twilling there. We also did chicken scratch, black work, Brazilian embroidery and several lace methods. Loved that class. The teacher actually had a masters in needlework. She was quite old and still was teaching.

    New to me too.... but will have to do some research and give it a try..... several of us gals get together every couple of weeks and try a new needle technique..... we have tried needle tatting, Romanian point lace and this would fit right in.
    Some of us do hardanger , needle point, counted cross stitch, knitting, crocheting and the list goes on ..... but always willing to try something new. Thanks for sharing.

    If you know embroidery, you may have heard this stitch called the palestrina stitch. It's really quite simple, here's a video tute.

    I think with paper it is called "Quilling". I have a kit but have never gotten around to doing it!

I didn't quite have it right for the first part but at A arrow indication I kind of got the hang of it. I like the raised texture it gives. Am I the only one that twilling is new to?
    i read that article and am going to try it also. with the same thought...use in redwork. it would make an attractive & heavier line which would show up better in redwork blocks used in a quilt. or any embroidery used in a quilt. used "whipped running stitch" recently on the back of a quilt and thought...whoa...that would be sooo much nicer looking in quilt blocks. nice full looking stitch. so..will try the quiling now. i think it is even prettier than the whipped running stitch.

    Never saw it before! Pretty though. I'd say it is a keeper stitch!!
