Several articles about Paper Filigree (aka Quilling) were published in The New Lady's Magazine during 1786. In the same year the magazine also published a number of patterns for Paper Filigree work. I have not managed to locate a copy of patterns V and VI but the others are included in this page.

A copy of Volume 1 of the magazine (but lacking some of the copperplate illustrations) can be accessed here.

Patterns continued to be published in Volume 2 during the early months of 1787, but thereafter mention of paper filigree work disappears from its pages.
