Inspired by photos of their granddaughters, dog and the colorful bubbles, Hiroko and Masanobu worked together to create this quilt. The dark watermill was designed to make the bubbles more beautiful and was a challenge to stitch. "I love to express my granddaughters and dogs in beautiful scenery to make viewers happy," writes Hiroko.
