He would sit on the bluffs overlooking the ocean and search for any sign of his father. When he became older, he began to wonder what it was like on the other side of the ocean. He drew a line across the Pacific and found Fort Bragg at the exact same latitude. In 2001, he made contact and invited Mayor Jere Melo of Fort Bragg to visit Otsuchi. The cities started with student exchanges.\u00a0 Shown below is a picture of Fort Bragg School Superintendent and my son Packie Turner delivering a quilt I made during the first exchange.\u00a0 In 2005 Mayor Dave Turner went to Otsuchi to make the two cities officially sister cities.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nDuring the first student exchange I made a quilt called \"Hands of Friendship\".\u00a0 To make the quilt I traced around the hands of all the students, Japanese and American, on the exchange.\u00a0 I put the hands in the center representing our world. Next I had each of the students sign their names and I put these around the outside, making a border. At the top of the quilt I made Log Cabin blocks because students would be staying in a family home.\u00a0 It was important to mark this great event with a quilted gift for our sister city Otsuchi.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery gllr_grid\" data-gllr-columns=\"3\" data-gllr-border-width=\"5\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-image-text-position=\"under\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gllr_image_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gllr_image_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"width:310px;height:310px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-fancybox=\"gallery_fancybox_360\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquilt.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Otsuchi-Hands-of-Friendship-d2002-w2400-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" style=\"width:300px;

The event began with a powerful\u00a0<span id=\"ref1119281\"><\/span>earthquake\u00a0off the northeastern\u00a0coast\u00a0of\u00a0Honshu, Japan\u2019s main island, which caused\u00a0widespread\u00a0damage on land and initiated a series of large\u00a0<span id=\"ref1119282\"><\/span>tsunami waves that devastated many coastal areas of the country, most notably in the T\u014dhoku region (northeastern Honshu) including Otsuchi.\u00a0 Out of a population of 15,000, at least 1,500 people, including the Otsuchi\u2019s mayor, perished in the disaster. Members of the Fort Bragg Otsuchi Cultural Exchange Association mobilized to create an Otsuchi Relief Fund. The entire community rallied to raise funds to help the families in Otsuchi who had lost their homes, businesses, and families. Although Fort Bragg\u2019s population is only 7,000, the city has been able to raise over $250,000 for Otsuchi.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nThe Quilt \"We All Live Under the Same Sky\" is a quilt that I started the year before the tsunami.\u00a0 It is made up of thousands of 1\" half square triangles.\u00a0 It is the <strong>Tree of Life<\/strong> block set so four tree tops touch and make a secondary pattern of stars.\u00a0 We live near the redwoods and always camp one week of the summer in the woods.\u00a0 When I look up at the night sky with so many stars, I always imagine who else is looking up.\r\n\r\nMy mother saw the quilt in progress and said: \"Who are you making this for?\u00a0 It is so dark.\"\u00a0 I didn't know.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nWhen we received the invitation to go to our Sister City's Memorial Service I wondered what gift could we possibly bring?\u00a0 Tree of Life, night sky?\r\n\r\nI designed the center of the quilt after I knew we were going.\u00a0 In Japan the fern is a symbol of family and new life.\u00a0 The very center swirl is a symbol of eternity.\u00a0 I was thinking of it as a connection between those that were lost and those that remained.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery gllr_grid\" data-gllr-columns=\"3\" data-gllr-border-width=\"5\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-image-text-position=\"under\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gllr_image_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gllr_image_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"width:310px;height:310px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-fancybox=\"gallery_fancybox_349\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquilt.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Otsuchi-Tsunami-d2012-w2200-z.jpg\" title=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" style=\"width:300px;

we would be housed in a town 2 hours away because there were no hotels after the devastation. \u00a0I brought the quilt \u201cWe All Live Under the Same Sky\u201d to give as a gift. \u00a0This quilt Hopes and Dreams is made from the one block I had left over from the quilt I gave our Sister City.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nHopes and Dreams is the original name of our student exchange program. I saw a lot of paper cranes on my trip to Otsuchi.\u00a0 I saw total devastation, acres of sorted garbage, a city completely leveled by earthquake, tsunami and fire.\u00a0 I also saw a lot of paper cranes.\u00a0 The Mayor had 1,000 paper cranes hanging outside the temporary City Hall.\u00a0 They say if you make a thousand cranes your wish will be granted. \u00a0I started making cranes as soon as I got home. \u00a0I told the story of our Otsuchi journey to the Sunrise Soroptimists and told them I was making cranes.\u00a0\u00a0 The following week there was a small bag of paper cranes on the windshield of my car. \u00a0I have sewn those into the tree. I made the cranes to process the sorrow I saw and felt; \u00a0I made them to remember those lost; \u00a0I made them so our friends still living in Otsuchi would be able to make a home again. \u00a0Is that three wishes?\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery gllr_grid\" data-gllr-columns=\"1\" data-gllr-border-width=\"5\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-image-text-position=\"under\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gllr_image_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gllr_image_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"width:778px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-fancybox=\"gallery_fancybox_373\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquilt.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Hope-and-DreamsII-w1500-z.jpg\" title=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\"  style=\"width:768px;
