Quilled Wall Hangings
Our quilled wall
hangings make a meaningful addition to your home. Also
consider purchasing them as unique gifts for your
friends and loved ones. Each wood-framed wall hanging is
an original quilled work measuring approximately 8
1/2"
by 8 1/2".
Each is signed by the maker and comes in a cardboard
mailer with a hangar bracket. An insert explaining the
Enable-USA program is attached to the back of each wall
hanging.
What is the meaning
of "quilled"?
 Quilling is the rolling and shaping of narrow strips of
paper to form coils which are assembled to form three
dimensional designs. Also known as paper filigree, the
craft dates back to the Middle Ages and was practiced
mostly by cloistered religious orders in Europe who had
access to handmade papers.
In the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,
quilling was popular among "fashionable" ladies
especially in England who crafted items such as tea
caddies, pictures and small pieces of furniture. The
ladies magazines of that period often printed patterns
for paper filigree. A filigree basket is mentioned by
British author Jane Austen in her well-known 1811 novel
“Sense and Sensibility.”
To purchase one or more or our quilled wall hangings,
the price is $15.00 each plus $3.50 shipping and
handling. Each wall hanging comes in its
own box-style mailer.
You may order using
your credit
card or a personal check through our PayPal electronic
payment service. If you would like to purchase a bulk
number of items, please contact us for quantity

Each
Wall Hanging Includes A Message From The Child Who
Created It: |
| "I want to
thank you for considering the purchase of my
card. I am among many young people whose
lives have been shattered by conflict over
drugs in Colombia. Like many others my life
has been disrupted by violence and I now
seek a return to a normal life. Fortunately
I was selected for training and employment
in this company that sells these cards that
we make. Thank you for buying my card and
helping in the struggle against drugs." |
