I'm back from another wonderful week at the John C. Campbell Folk School. Total immersion in the art of temari allowed beginners to make C8s and C10s by the end of the week. We got into exploring multicenters temari, too. Talk about a jump start - more like a turbo boost! Thanks so much to Crystal, Shelley, Kathy, Carrie, Maritza and Sarah for coming to stitch with me in the mountains of North Carolina. The small class sizes at the folk school and the creative atmosphere make it a very special place.

I've dedicated a large portion of my website to an illustrated glossary of temari techniques, links to other fiber artists and resources for temari stitching. Please feel free to visit this section often. Download and print for your reference off-line. If you would like to be added to the links section, just let me know.
Happy stitching,
Barb Suess
