I'm hoping someone here can help me. I frequented this site about 10 years ago. There was a woman who digitized a lot of FSL designs. I believe she went by the screen name, Yoriko. She had a web site called My Garden. I actually found the site, but I wasn't able to locate any designs. I had purchased some of my favorite designs from her, and I have lost them. I thought I had everything backed up, but No matter where I search in all my files. these two designs can't be found. I was hoping to be able to purchase them again. Does anyone remember this woman, and has she maybe opened a new site for her designs? I understand that a lot can happen in 10 years, and there may be a far less desirable option. Anyway... If anyone can help me find Yoriko's site OR possibly these designs... I would be truly grateful. I'm looking for the FSL cardinal, and the FSL Poinsettias.

Yoriko was a dear friend of mine and Meg's and her passing was so sad, not to mention the theft of her website etc. I hope you can find something similar elsewhere. Another great FSL designer is Tereza at EmbroiderybyTM, She is not accepting new clients unless someone recommends her who belongs to her site. You can tell her that I recommend you and you will hear back from her. She has had a lot of people stealing her designs too, it's so sad that this sort of behaviour still exists. Love Chris, Newcastle, NSW, Australia.

Thanks! I am familiar with TM designs. I love her designs. I just really hoped to find this particular cardinal. It is, indeed, so sad to hear of Yoriko's Passing!

I recognize them. Yes, they are Yoriko's, except the train is StitchDelight. I have it also.

ok thanks i love this design but never knew where it came from i will go check it out .thanks

I knew the train was from stitch delight. I cam find that in my files. Just somewhere along the line, I have lost all of Yorilo's designs. SO frustrating, because they are the only ones I can't find.

I hope you will stay and join the Cute family. I know the designs won't be the same, but other websites like Embroidery Library will have some wonderful FSL designs. Several of us have had issues even though we are backing up our design stashes. We are doing double and even triple back ups now.

I have done the same. I don't know when I lost the designs, but I cant find them in any of my back ups either. Sometimes these things just happen, I guess,

Yoriko was a very talented designer and very generous too. She is remembered by many of us with great affection.

I do remember her kindness and generosity, as well as her talent!

The designs are no longer available. Sharing a design of her's would violate laws.
She was a wonderful friend and digitizer. We miss her!

I would not expect anyone to share. I know how that is frowned upon. I was hoping to find her site and re-purchase them. So sad to hear that she has passed, and been robbed of her hard work.

I am so glad you understand. Thank you for letting us all know, you know.

Yoriko died a couple years ago and even more sadly, someone stole her site name and designs, too, I believe. I hope that has been settled in court because it was not right! Perhaps someone else has more information than my memory.

Oh No! I'm so sorry to hear of her passing! She was a very talented lady. I remember that she was also quite generous. She always offered freebies to the Cuties. So sad that someone stole her site and designs!
