A Few Finishes

I've been slowly and steadily working on many projects, and actually managed to finish some.  I posted about this quilt a few posts ago.  It was my first scalloped edged quilt and binding was quite the challenge.
 
 
The next quilt is for a soon-to-be-arriving grandson of a good friend.  His parents live by the ocean so I chose a sea theme.  The pattern was from a Mary Ellen Hopkins book.  I believe Mary Ellen said it was a kindergarten block but I found it difficult to choose fabrics.  I usually use many small fabrics in a quilt so limiting myself to only a few was really a challenge for me.   I meet with my Quilt Sitters group later this month and look forward to seeing what the other ladies do with this pattern.
 
 


Finally, I embroidered and created these small quilts from Jenny of Elefantz. 


 
 

This doesn't look like much now, but this was in addition to hosting a St. Patrick's dinner party for 11 and cleaning out my quilt closet.  Whew!  I need a rest.
