I agree with these :good:

I like the idea of doing a classic game for this- Zelda or Mario. They have such lasting power that I think they can appeal to many people which would help with folks doing the same pattern.

I wuld really be into stitching anything, but power ups, or items would be my top picks since they are simple and from a bunch of different days. Or treasure chests from various games. Some would be nice a plain, and then other big, ornate fancy ones. I would enjoy stitching them.

In terms of a colouring book, I think we should all stitch Yoshis! Because, honestly, it doesn't matter what colour they are, they're always adorable!! Green, purple, pink, striped, dotted, awesome!!!

I second Yoshis'. My second choice would be power ups.

I like girl power, but i think yoshi is an excellent choice as there is a precedent for many colors.

I would be interested in:
pokemon
Indie assortments
Food
Baddies/girl power
Geeky sci fi


I have no interest in stitching Yoshi's of any colour I'm afraid, not when there is so much potential in other topics.

I agree - there are so many other great things we could come up with - Yoshi is not on my list of things I'd like to do.

Whilst I'm also not a fan of Yoshi, I think the idea of all doing one thing and seeing what we can come up with sounds like a neat idea for a challenge.

I like the idea of doing recognisable symbols or logos...
