Title: Embroidery for Fun
Publisher: Ondori
Copyright: 1974
I grew tired of waiting for Ondori books to find me and went out in search of them. All I can say is that I don't know how people functioned before the internet...

what a wonderful book! it's hard to believe the publication date as it looks as current today.
Love the page with the tree and the birds thanks for sharing!!!
oh my goodness those are FUN! let me know if you ever scan any of the patterns in...or are they all just images?
oh good gracious! those turtles stacked on top of each other are killing me!!! insanely awesome.
I second Candace's comment! So freakin' awesome.
that really is the best book i have ever seen!!
thank you for sharing it
Oh my! I love all of those! But especially the tree and the little picture-frame-y motifs.
I might have to try and mimic those motifs for pictures in my Blythe dollhouse once I get it built.
woo! more trees and mushrooms and now stacking turtles too! the 1970s have never looked so fresh.
I love all the little mushrooms!
I literally drool everytime I see an Ondori book of embroidery. So much fun!
Oh MY goodness! Look at that! It's so very like the Japanese Embroidery Books we all covet - only from the seventies.. so SO much better! Thanks for showing us these - I've never seen them before and they are LOVELY! Look at the crabs! Snap snap!
i'm so in love with this book.
what a great find :)
Oh my goodness, I absolutely love that book! Thanks for sharing.
such fun...and I really, really, REALLY want to get into embroidery...so I ordered myself a (what I hope is the same) copy from Amazon. Woo-hoo! Thanks for the tip! This is why I blog.
hey, you ok? just wondering if everythings alright; though i'm sure you're just busy and have a real life more important than cyberspace!!
oh wow! i'm envious! love the images! i saw a couple on amazon....one going for $77 and the other for $102....wow
I love these books. I never even hear of them before! They are giving me ideas!!!!!
i can't believe there's one i haven't seen before! now i have something to search for again.
I'm going hunting for Ondori books too. Love all the images you've shared.
Great site for us hand embroiderers.
