Temari: Japanese Thread Balls, lavish and exquisite, are stitchery on balls wrapped with the threads of 1000 years of tradition, transformed through time from a humble home craft to a revered art form. Originally toys for children, made from recycled fabrics and threads unraveled from discarded clothing, these "Auspicious Gifts" are now the formal and elegant symbols of love and joy and highest esteem.

* Nine more ancient traditional thread ball patterns
* Silk Ribbon Embroidery easier than ever
* Tassels both quick and elegant
* Koma, a wrapped ornament that children can make!
* Simple yet thorough instruction -- 382 diagrams to guide you step-by-step
"To complete a temari, like finishing a great book is like losing a friend. But each sequel is like finding gold. It gets better and better! Come join our circle." - Bob Mauller, Retired Educator, Pasadena, CA
"Vandervoort's books have put Temari on the front burner...one of our featured favorites." - Mary Mulligan and Susan Leonard, Owners, Weaver's Needle and Frame, Newbury Park, CA
"It is easier and more satisfying to learn from a well-written, illustrated book than a live teacher. Here you have the opportunity to learn by yourself, a most enjoyable and ancient idea from the Orient. It is a winner. A truly unique and dazzling craft. . . an ancient star shines again." - Patricia Nimocks, Founder Society of Craft Designers
