This book is a must have for Temari stitchers. It has a beautiful cover and the photos inside are incredible. The instructions are very easy to understand.
A great 'how to' for Temari

This is a wonderful book that illustrates the techniques needed to make these beautiful balls. The author is very familiar with the craft and writes in a style that can be understood easily. I let this book sit on a shelf for quite some time before I got myself motivated. I am sorry now because I truly love creating these wonderful treasures. Buy this book and learn a new and interesting craft.
great ideas!

this is a wonderful book - I had not heard of this type of crafting earlier, and the women at the local fabric shops looked at me a little funny when I told them what I was buyng all the colored ribbons, threads, charms and such for, but this is a really neat artform!it also is every bit as easy as claimed. My very first ball turned out well. I'm off to collect the earlier Temari books now. :)
A new twist in Temari!

Those of you who own Diana Vandervoorts' other books will be delighted to add this to your collection! This book features some unique and new designs for the English-speaking temari enthusiasts. Even if you don't speak English, she has provided plenty of step-by-step illustrations. I really enjoy the new aspect she has introduced with ribbons and fabric. Now I know what to do with all the silk kimono reminants I have! This is a book I will enjoy for some time to come.
