"I think I can"... be back on track with my quilting?

Wow, almost a month without posting.  It has been a long month.  My husband is struggling with his energy levels and we are waiting (not so patiently) for a variety of appointments with specialists and for testing.  This week will be busy, ending with Easter.  A new beginning and hopefully, some answers.
So, I have been gardening and helping outside when it isn't raining and also playing tennis when the courts are dry.

A greenhouse got put together and manure was collected from our farmer friend, Fred and two trips later, we have good 'stuff' on all the gardens.


My front yard looks good although with the recent rain, the grass now needs cutting.  But, recent rain is impeding my progress on that job!
Busy Bee by Villa Rosa is up on the design wall... waiting!
Heart blocks for the catastrophe in Christchurch, New Zealand were made and I took them to the FVMQG to be mailed off with the contributions from other quilters.
And tennis on a cold but dry day.  Dress warmly!!
And a badly needed pedicure - taking care of the essentials before I get into my quilting.
Then finally, a finish!  This preemie was made from charm squares, a January challenge from my Heartstrings Yahoo group. Better late than never?  Now I have Feb - Apr to catch up on.
Yippee!  The log cabin blocks made last November are now a finished quilt.  These blocks are the 2019 featured project of QOVC and CQA and are being made across Canada to end up in finished quilts for injured military.  For more information, check out the home page of www.quiltsofvalour.ca and all the details of making the blocks are there.  Great project to work on alone or in a group of friends.
My next challenge was to organize all my current projects in various stages of completion.  It took me a few days to find them all and list them.  I am going to join in on the 2019 Finish-A-Long. I am going to do a second post this morning with the list and pictures of what I want/need to accomplish.

I am now up to date with my CQA 52 blocks in 52 weeks.  Week 13 is done!
