DH and I spent some time in the studio today. We got my old Pfaff out, set it up, and tried it out. It works just fine. I think the reason it was skipping stitches when I tried it a couple of years ago, was because I had threaded the machine incorrectly. Could I sell it? Yes, but I wouldn't get much for it because of its age and because the lid of the equipment box is broken. It's been decided to keep it as a spare, as we've been doing for the past 17 years.
We went through the hangings found yesterday, ( was it yesterday or the day before? Who knows?) All but one of them have been cut up and thrown in the bin. My 5 gallon bin was full, and dumped in a large black plastic bag, as I type. The hanging that has been kept will be hung in the studio over the tv, and the one current hanging there may be moved, although it might be a candidate for binning as well.
And then there was a discussion and maybe a revelation about how much scrap fabric we have and how it's to be used. I don't feel that I've had a creative thought since I was sick in March of 2020 (Covid? who knows?) Right now I would be quite happy to work on donation quilts. Using scraps for these could be a spur to creativity.
That thought has resulted in a revision of the challenge. The UFO list will now be the major part of activity. I have both unfinished projects and 2 bins of scraps dedicated to making donation quilts. Those two bins will be given a degree of priority.
