Continuing to celebrate America 250!
Join the Warrior Run-Fort Freeland Heritage Society to continue celebrating our great country for America 250 by making a patriotic star quilling project on Saturday, October 24th, at 10am at the Delaware Township Building.
What is quilling?
Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper shape is manipulated to create designs on their own or to decorate other objects, such as greetings cards, pictures, boxes, or to make jewelry. Quilling quickly spread to America, with its popularity being during the colonial period.
