Not a UFO! February Preemie Quilt

My quilt guild does a February Preemie Quilt Challenge.  This year the theme is Sea to Sky.... So this week I remembered!  Meeting was supposed to be tonight, but the meeting was rescheduled until next week due to snow.  That's ok because my quilt just needs the binding stitched down.  I will finish that tonight while watching a movie....

Basted!   Another quilt is on the longarm,
so I basted this one, to quilt on my sewing machine.

This week progress

We have started remodelling our basement so I can have all my supplies in one room. It started with just one part of the room, but after thinking about it, I thought, why not remove the wall and have one large sewing area, instead of one room for the longarm and another for the sewing machines (down the hall). As it turns out that was a good decision, as with 3 doors in the room and it being fairly narrow (8'9") I wouldn't have had much storage around a 10' frame for the longarm machine.

Last week the kids and I started by removing carpet and one side of the wall, and this week we have all worked together and now the room is apart and we are running electrical lines and installing new lights.

Today I was going to do some running around looking for some items needed for my new sewing studio, but my husband suggested I stay home and sew...  Great Idea!  But the first task was finding the sewing surface. This room was a mess due to not cleaning up and from adding all the buckets of fabric from their old storage location....  So the first couple of hours I organized and found some of the projects I wished to work on....

And for tonights Quilt Guild meeting, I completed the following Block of the Month. Unfortunately I didn't win the 16 completed blocks... they all looked great!

At Quilt Guild tonight, we had a Jelly Roll race Challenge!  My partner and I finished our top....  These quilts will be donated to the hospice for the beds.

Our completed top!

I finished quilting a quilt on the longarm. But the project is underwraps... so its a surprise....

Saturday I went to the guild sew-in and I completed the binding on two quilts and nearly completed the top-secret quilt... Must finish it by Friday, and then show it at the guild meeting... then it will be mailed to the recipient....
