Funny old world we live in. We still haven't started on the quilt, but we've rescued loads of sewing machines now; another 5 left for Africa on Easter Sunday. People are contacting me out of the blue and asking me to take them on; the last three arrived on the doorstep on Sunday morning, about an hour before TWAM's local rep came to pick some up, so one, a pretty little Singer 99K that just needed brush-out & a drop of oil, went straight off with him! One of the others, a 201K, just needs to be turned over to handcrank, which I will do over the weekend, and the last is a little more - well, fun, being a Davis VS - the first American machine to pass through my hands.
We've also been off to two places that would have made fantastic locations for this project, Pembrokeshire in Wales and North Devon. But it wasn't possible to take a machine on either trip, this time - so now we'll just have to go again! And we've been busy making Morsbags, too, which is a very good use to put the machines & spare fabric to, so I think I need to work on allocating my time a bit better. Which could very well be the story of my whole life!
