Finally a FINISH

With what I have been going through lately. Being sick, stressed, sore foot, bad sore throat and dreaded cold . Then of course, dealing with my husbands health. It's any wonder after my last 4 years that I have fallen apart and lost the plot for a while.... Anyway, who wants to listen to me feeling sorry for myself...
Onto the good stuff.... I FINALLY HAVE A FINISH.....

NEARLY INSANE UFO CATCH UP

My resolutions this year was to finish some UFOs. Unfortunately I didn't get March's UFO done.there was just too much happening with hubby. I might get to it this month. I did manage to baste it ready for quilting though... Fingers crossed I can catch up.
Anyway this month I am to try and get something done on my Nearly Insane quilt.
Well, yes I have started.
I got the box out and I couldn't even remember what I have done.
Here is my chart of the blocks I have already completed. I started this with the Kilmore Quilters group back in Ocober 2013. I kept up until October 2014. Then my mum was put into hospital and my sewing time decreased. Unfortunately my mum passed away in March 2015 and I didn't do much sewing. So now I have decided to do some more on this quilt. Members from the group have finished and I will get there one day.
Here is where I was at... Half the blocks are done.

My plan and how many blocks I've done

 I thought I would get the blocks out and see what they look like.

Pieces and blocks laid out to see where I am up to.

 I decided to start sewing the quilt top together as I had already cut out the sashings and corner stones.

2 rows sewn together

 I sewed a few rows together and I am missing some ends. So the next step is to fill in the corners. I am happy so far with my progress . 3 side blocks need to be done before I go any further.

Waiting for some side blocks.
Nearly Insne

April fools day

Is it a joke or isn't it. 3 months gone already..
My UFO RESOLUTIONS LIST.
I haven't quite finished my March UFO... No 7. Crossroads to Jerhico.
It is pieced and basted. The quilting has been started but not much has really been done. It was a busy month... So it will be a double catch up this month...

2016 UFO resolution list

This month I couldn't find the dice I have been using. Out come the deck of cards. UNO anyone.
They don't go to 12 so I substituted some for 10, 11 & 12.
Hubby drew the card.... NO.....6...  WORK ON MY NEARLY INSANE BLOCKS.
 That's ok. I am only half way through them. I have Dear Jane and the Splendid Sampler in progress so some more 6" blocks won't hurt. When I drag them all out to see where I am up to I'll get a photo.

Aprils UFO project is no. 6
WORK ON NEARLY INSANE blocks

Wonky Starburst quilt

I really don't know why I never got around to quilting it. I am fairly sure it will be finished soon...
I can't believe it has been packed away since August 2014....

HAPPY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

No resolutions for me but something I want to try this year to help me with my UFO's is a list.
I saw it on someone's blog last year and it was such a great idea... For the life of me I can't find where I saw it. If anyone knows what I'm talking about please let me know where it started.
The way it works you write down a list of 12 UFO projects. On the 1st of every month pull a number out of a jar. Or in my case I rolled 2 dice. The project next to that number is the one to work on that month.....
Firstly, I found this printable and thanks to Kelly for allowing me to post about it. I have included the link to print your own.

RESOLUTIONS UFO PRINTABLE

Go and have a look at this site http://livelaughrowe.com/new-year-resolutions-printable/

Now for me to fill it out and start my first UFO project for 2016.

Secondly, here is my list

My list of UFO's is on the wall...

Thirdly, the dice have been rolled..... NUMBER 4...... 

No. 4..... Crochet round baby shawl...

Time to get my crochet hook out and finish this shawl. The stars are on my side as I do need it finished for the new granddaughter due soon....

This is where I left it when I stored it away...

If anyone wants to join in just email and let me know.

I don't know how to do a linky thingy but hopefully there might be one or two bloggers that want to join in. I have put the list on my left hand side bar with each months number to do...

If I find out who did it last year I might be able to join them this year
