Well, my quilling tree was a huge success at the silent auction! It kind of started a bidding war, and the person who won it told me they were SO excited to get it! I got a ton of compliments on it as well, and people even said they had no idea I "was so talented". Ha! I don't know if I'll say it's talent, but I appreciate the comment just the same :)
The leader of the silent auction has already asked me to make another quilling piece for the auction next year. And after I showed it to my boss, she now wants me to make the Alabama logo with this technique and she is going to pay me! Plus another person wants me to quilling something for her daughter's bar mitzvah. And one of the people who bid on my project but lost has asked me to make something for her. and she'll pay me as well! This could turn into a small business, it seems!
So it looks like I'll be doing a lot more quilling. But I love it, so that's ok! However, I think this weekend, I want to work on something else besides quilling. I think our front door really needs a wreath. :)
Way to go! Isn't it exciting when your hard work pays off and you're recognized for your talent? You must be so excited! Jen @ www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com
