My Bernina died Sunday.  It has been terminally ill for over a week but I have been able to coax it to perform anyway up until Sunday afternoon when it just plain quit. So yesterday I took it in for repairs and hope to get it back on Friday. In the meantime I got out the Pfaff that I won in the Sulky Challenge.  It is a nice machine, but I am not one with it like I am with the Bernina.  I struggled to finish the bottom of the fawn quilt, but I am not prepared to tackle the sky with an unfamiliar machine. Skies are hard enough in the best of times!

I can use this time to plan and perhaps start some new projects, clean things up and  dare I say, work on the books?
