If one person did stitch two I'd say those were #1 and the left one in pic #3. Cool to see these up close, thanks Tricia. I want to say 4 different hands on these.

I would guess 2 or 3 people - One person for the middle one and the right one on the bottom and a second (and third) person for the top one and the left one on the bottom.

You can tell both because the center photo shows a flower near the seam of the piece and because the tension on the two pieces is the most different of all of the flowers. These flowers were done much earlier -- sometime in 2007, I know that much. I think that these might have been done by a number of people; the tension of the red on the right of the pair is looser than that of other places, including the white above. The left of the pair and the top one are definitely denser. I'd guess 4 or 5 people worked these.
