Due to the drama of the past few days, I didn’t get to work on any of the projects that I was planning, but as promised I will share the pictures of my finished quilled project. (Just a note: These are some of the rescued pictures. Praising God for every minute!)
For the fringed sunflowers I glued a yellow 6” fringed strip of ¾” wide paper, and a black 1/8” strip.
Here are some of the quilled circles. The board is used to let the quilled pieces relax and then I glue the ends and hold them with a pin. Each quilled piece is made from 1/8” wide strips of various lengths depending on what size I want. Some are loose quills and others are tight rolls.
Here are all the finished quilled pieces waiting to be shaped and assembled.
I use a piece of packing Styrofoam covered with wax paper to make my designs. I use pins and toothpicks to help keep the pieces in place until the glue dries.
These are most of my finished pieces waiting for placement. After making the grapes, I realized that they were too big for the design, so I started over on them.
I used my design template that I had put on the wax paper covered foam core board and began assembly, again using pins to hold things in place.
After I was satisfied with the placement of the main pieces I began to glue everything to the mat.
When the main pieces were in place I added the green vines and the small details.
For this project I found this kitchen prayer and printed it out.
Here is a close up of the bottom.

The finished project.
I am really happy with the finished project and may do this design again for my own kitchen.

I've done a little bit of that for scrapbooking but nothing to that magnitude. Looks great!
So glad things got resolved with your computer.
Oh wow! I have never seen how those are done. That is beautiful. I am simply amazed. I found you through the Sew Crafty Friday meme. I have mine up at http://www.chatbugkaren.com/windingthreads/2008/01/24/pepsi-purse/

….absolutely gorgeous!
Someone did one of these for us with our wedding invitation and it got misplaced. It didn't look nearly this pretty though.
