Her Majesty does a lot of embroidery by machine. One of her patterns calls for white for the main color on a Koala. She wanted me to ask:
Is there such a thing as a white Koala?

Thanks for the Links, Shorty & Wheelin'... and Dazzler, I thought that one at the San Diego zoo looked like what you described. LOYL did a great job on that shirt, Wheelin'.
Shorty, can't believe you're the one... and from Melbourne... thought you was a yank. :eek:
Her Majesty has 5 different koala patterns that she's going to put on a quilt, and one of them will be white. Thanks, mates!!

Hey OGYT, if you want a koala with the tail of a deer, let me know.
I am an embroidery digitiser and we run our own embroidery business. In our catalogue of pre-digitised designs is a koala with a tail. One day I'll run the design out just for fun.
If you need any assistance with designs, let me know the format and we may be able to help. THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT, merely a friendly gesture from one woodie to another, with NO COST involved.:U
I hope I don't get into trouble for this.:doh:

FC, it's here (marked Off Topic), because I needed some info, and I knew this bunch could give it to me! :D Sorry. :(
Toyboy, thanks for the offer. She uses Bernina, ART and ESC formats, and neither of us can digitize anything.... :( I never saw a Koala, so I wouldn't know it didn't have a deer's tail. :D
Let's end this thread, so's to keep the piece... :U
