Trade Winds block of the month is starting in January/February 2025 and it will include all wool fabrics (including hand dyed wools as used in the quilt from Sue Spargo), all cotton fabrics (these will vary to what is used in the original quilt but we will do our best to get the colours right), velvet, ric rac and binding. The book is not included in this block of the month, it will have to be purchased separately. Threads are not included in this block of the month, they are sold separately on our website, or phone/email us with the threads you need and we can send them out with your first block. This is a 12 month block of the month and once registered your deposit is non-refundable as this is there to hold your place in line, this deposit has been taken off the overall quilt price.  Monthly price is $73.00 + p & p.  Type of payment required for this block of the month is credit card, and this will be put through manually each month. Finished Quilt Size: 34.5" x 40.5" Wool appliqué, layering and embroidery quilt/wall hanging. Sail out into the great unknown with Sue! For years, Sue has filled her journal with folktales and drawings inspired by the ocean on her many travels across the globe. These ocean inspired creations came to fruition in the spectacular Trade Winds Quilt. Trade Winds is not only a vehicle for creativity and craft but an opportunity to dive deeper. Come and uncover the wonders of the ocean’s flora and fauna and how our ever-changing world is impacting the health of our beloved waters. Detailed instructions, clear pattern and stitch diagrams, and the opportunity to learn new techniques such as wool appliqué, layering, cotton appliqué, embroidery, dimensional embroidery, and texture creation make Trade Winds an ideal Block of the Month program.
