Hey all. I hate hate being sick. Seems it takes me forever to feel normal again. While sick i still managed to get on ebay and such. Last night i won a 66 lotus that i cant wait to get my hands on. I just love that particular design. Also won a huge lot of vintage patterns. Should have fun going through those.

Thanks Havplenty! I carry a couple of little LED flashlites in my purse all the time, and the 301 is coming with a box of attachments and bobbins....I might toss in a couple of 15's and 66's tho, just in case I find another machine while we're junkin'!!
Good idea! Thanks! :)

Charlee are you taking tweezers!!!!! I just picked up another not so vintage Pfaff Saturday at a Thrift store. It had a thread caught around the bobbin assembly! I always have those tweezers handy for those instances! Have fun!

Have a good time, Charlee!! "Junkin'" seems like an ideal little vacation!! Might have to try that in a couple weeks while I'm on vacation from work!!

After seeing the 2nd house, I don't know if I want to bring anything home for a while. It belonged to a stage 4 or 5 hoarder--terribly sad to see. There were 3 sewing machines, but I couldn't get to them, too many boxes in the way. They must have belonged to his wife. Some quilts too, at least one with the binding tacked down but unsewn.

But, at the first house, I did see a quilt hanging in a stairwell that was interesting and brightened my day. One side looked almost pink, but the other was faded from being in the sun. It was a diamond star done with tiny, tiny piecing! I had to take pictures:

My index finger showing the size of the diamonds in the border. The star was made of the same size diamonds. What a piecer!
