We are pleased to present a new title in this popular series from Diana Vandervoort. Temari -- kaleidoscopic, multicolored threadballs -- were originally children's toys in ancient Japanese society. This simple craft has since developed into the exquisite art form found in Temari Adventures.

Temari Adventures offers nine delightful new designs, including a wondrous children's Christmas ball and instructions for "quick and easy" temari threadballs for beginners. And, for the first time, four projects are included uniting the temari craft with the gorgeous tradition of goten-mari -- using decorative fabrics pieced together to create spectacular quilt balls.

Easy to follow, step-by-step directions are clearly illustrated throughout. The materials required are inexpensive and available in needlecraft stores throughout the United States and Canada. The patterns and techniques in Temari Adventures provide a base for infinite variations of color and designs.
