Passed from Mother to Daughter

I've always been proud that from an early age my Mam encouraged me to craft she makes some wonderful cards so I thought it would be nice to feature one of her creations,
This is a quilled bird that she first made for an Uncles Birthday and since then she has had many requests for her to make more, I think you can see why.
Although they take a long time to make she enjoys creating them and has made several in different colour ways.

I would love you to leave a comment for her, as she calls to my house on a Friday and it would be lovely for her to read what you think of her card

    You wouldn't have had to ask Jak, it's stunning. Now I can see where you get your talent from. I've never been really interested in quilling but this could make me change my mind. Beautiful work, Jak's Mum!!

    Hi Jak's Mum,

    Your card is fantastic. I want to learn quilling and if I get to be half as good as you, I will be pleased.

    Congratulations.

    What a spuerbly beautiful card and the quilling is so beautiful. Not surprising that she gets so many repeat orders for that. Could Jak's mum tell me please-do you use an outline for the bird and then quill the shapes to fill in??
    Beautiful and thank for sharing.

    Hello Mum of Jak! What an absolutely wonderful wee bird you have created. Of all the winter "babies", Chickadees are my alltime favorite. I will give you a big hand for all the patience it takes to do this type of papercraft, we all have our talents but this is not one of mine. I enjoy very much the talents of your lovely daughter, and can see where it springs from. You have both brightened my day with your contributions. Thanks ever so much.
