Becky from the Quillers group had a wonderful idea to quill a stained glass window. I thought my mother would like such a thing, so I searched the net for a photo of a stained glass window I liked and came up with Moses returns from Mount Sinai (1863). I printed the photo to a nice color printer and then quilled on top of it. I only quilled the framing around the figures because I decided that I didn’t have the skill to try to do more subtle things like the faces and gowns, but since the window had a natural frame it worked out very well.

I mounted the finished product on foam board and then mounted that on the front (top) of the frame rather than inside it so that the quilling really stands out. Inside the framing that I quilled, you can see the original printed photo.

I did some 3-D work at the bottom to make the circles jump out.

The gold and silver “pillars” are made by wrapping quilling paper around bamboo sticks cut to size.
