In our
TemariChallenge Yahoo group, we began 2011 with a challenge to stitch a flower sampler with twelve different flowers. Each person picked their favorite flowers and shared pictures and tips on making it. This is definitely advanced stitching so if you are new to temari, please don't be blown away! You can stitch the same flower on a ball that isn't marked or you could mark a simple division and stitch a flower on the north pole and another on the south pole. This idea with the challenge is to work at your own level, learn from everyone else, and enjoy stitching flowers. I realize that we don't all speak the same temari "language" so if you have trouble understanding me, have a look at
the glossary on my website. I hope that will help.
I started this blog about the same time and shared my progress with a post about each flower as it was completed.
Enjoy!
