Hello Quilty Friends!
WARNING......these quilts might make you feel crossed eye, wobbly or even wondering if you've been smoking magic mushrooms! Same quilts, just slight variations.
It seems like light years ago I quilted these. Raewyn's one was quilted in May 2023!
They had to remain a deep dark secret until Sue Spargo released this design to the public.
I tried to quilt each one a little differently. See if you can spot the differences.
So here are Janine, Kay, Raewyn & Sherrill's gorgeous Tradewind quilts.

How many differences did you spot?
I was told by these AMAZING creators that some of the hand embroidery stitches take two hours for each type of embroidery, can you imagine just HOW LONG these quilts take to create?
I know it takes me a long time to quilt each one.
Thank you Janine, Kay, Raewyn & Sherrill for letting me loose on your quilts!
