quill

Coyotes, bears, and mountain lions which occasionally kill porcupines are sometimes quilled.

Nibs never would have quilled a seriph to sheepskin.

Although men and women sometimes cooperated, women usually painted or quilled very balanced, controlled geometric designs on dresses, moccasins, robes, bags, and containers.
