Quilling Round The Year is a colorful and beautiful tutorial guide with projects written and developed by Rachel Warrillow. Due out 29th April 2025 from Bloomsbury on their Herbert Press imprint, it's 144 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.
The projects are attractive and accessible for a range of skills. Really all of them are do-able for beginners with some patience. They're arranged seasonally (spring, summer, autumn, winter) and all are colourful and appealing. The author has written a very good primer covering tools, supplies, paper choice, forms used in quilling, and more.
Each project includes step-by-step instructions accompanied by many clear colour tutorial photos. The instructions are easy to understand and follow. The author/publisher have included full sized templates as well as an abbreviated sources and links list (slanted toward readers in the UK, but a simple internet search will help readers who live elsewhere) and a gorgeous inspiration gallery (also in colour).
Quilling is admittedly a niche craft, but it's lovely to see it getting a boost. This would be an excellent choice for public, school or home library acquisition as well as for collective artists' studios and makers spaces.
Five stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
