Description: In this workshop we will let our creative juices flow --- by making Quillie jewelry from rolled, or quilled, wool strips. You will learn the techniques necessary to design and build your own Broach. Once you have mastered the basics the sky’s the limit.

Nancy loves to use antique buttons in the jewelry she designs. The beauty being, you can sew the buttons into the Quillie enhancing the overall look with dimension and an artistic flare. It’s a whole new life for those special button box beauties and sentimental keepsakes. So if you have old buttons, beads, broken jewelry, please bring them along, perhaps they can be incorporated into your Broach --- making it a unique fashion accessory or gift!
