For the votes that have come in....the majority have been for Yoriko.....unfortuantly I have NO clue on what to do as a theme...
Please if you have any ideas post what you think....
HOWEVER...there is a number of votes for someone else also, so I will propose this for you to think about....
I am going to do a couple of them...1 for Yoriko...1 for the other receipiant, and 1 will be a mystery...
if you would like to have a couple going, then I can post alot of pictures and no one will be able to tell wether they are the one or not.....Yes I LOVE keeping people in suspense and you never know who is going to get what....SORRY...that is just me....
What do you say....would you be willing to make 2 or possible 3 squares this time around?

Dear Deanna,
I know Yoriko loves Australian native birds. Maybe we could also incorporate some beautiful cherry blossom that grow so beautifully in Japan.
Love and blessing Chris

Chris...how about just colorful birds and the borders I can incorporate the cherry or sakura blossoms...
First to Chris, talk about thinking alike!!!!! LOL!!!! I hadn't read your post before I wrote mine.
Deanna, I think we will have a hard time finding enough embroidery designs of Australian birds to make up a quilt. There just aren't that many of them available. Sorry to put a damper on this idea.

OH this sounds like fun, I too love surprises, especially doing them for other people.
Count me in for sure.
To get ideas for the one for Yoriko, I think you only need to look at her designs on her website to get an idea of things she likes. I would think Geisha's and Sakura blossoms would play an important part in her life as she is very proud of being Japanese.
But she seems to be equally proud to be a new Aussie so perhaps some bottle brush flowers, wattle, Waratahs, Kookaburras, Rosellas would not be amiss interspersed amongst a Traditional Japanese theme.
Reds and golds are lucky colours for Chinese, I'm not sure if this is true of Japanese, but then, their flag is the Red Sun so perhaps it is.
I hope these suggestions are helpful.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

I agree with perhaps an australian theme with a mix of Japanese. Flowers, birds, animals, platypus, koala etc.

I would love to be involved, but can you give us a time framework for the project. As I am off to Japan for 4 weeks from 15th July till mid August I will find it difficult to complete much between now and then. I wouldnt want to make a commitment and then be unable to fullfill my promise like the last one. Regards

Definitly yes. I think for Yoriko the theme of cherry blossoms and Japanese designs is a good idea. Let us know what you want done. I also think that all of us should make a donation for the quilt material, batting, etc. Hugs, Mary

I would love to help. It will be my first time. I don't digitize, but I can embroider with my machine. Yoriko is so very special and has been so generous to us, I would like for her to "feel the love" from us. There are so many special cuties that I am always up for surprises. Thank you for getting us going on these projects.
