I hope you've taken photos along the way @Bill

How about having a big WIPGO board (40 ideas etc) with a large selection of sewing projects/ideas on it that everyone can contribute towards and then you just pick out what you fancy doing for that week or month, you may even like to do something that somebody else has submitted. At least if you pick a project you're more likely to join in as there will be something for everyone, darkside/lightside. If a sewing competition is put in place for say January to complete an item of clothing with stars on for example, then it might not suit everyone so you feel a bit left out and then don't bother sewing anything. We can still have the sewalongs on Tues/Wed and share what we've done......just a thought. Once a month we can say what number square we are working on and i also think it takes the pressure away of trying to get something completed by the deadline.

@deetee I had this table a couple of years ago, solid as a rock and suitable for sewing. I found the drawers very useful as they are quite large. The only reason i got rid of mine was i bought a dedicated sewing table.

I think the Autumn Capsule Wardrobe is always a good one to go with, i was a bit late with this years but i'd definitely be up for it next Autumn.

I like the sound of the "exercise wear" theme 

The UFO is always a dead cert  I think most of us have something that's unfinished, i know i do 

How about a Lingerie theme, i'd like to make a cotton dressing gown or maybe some PJ's

A something for the "home" theme, like a wall hanging, carrier bag holder, placemats, cushion etc

Accessories theme, maybe a purse or wallet, bag etc I know we had it this year but it's still a good one.

I'm not a fan of "Peach" either 

Thankyou for organising all these themes @SewRuthieSews

I wouldn't sell it, as you say, you don't need the money so I'd just let it sit upstairs in your sewing room and it's there for when you need it.

@Ohsewsimple We had exactly the same advice, I'm not leaving any money to anyone, I do have two nephews but they squander money like there's no tomorrow so it won't be left to them, I will be leaving some to the local animal charities and we will spend the rest during our retirement years and at the same time being very careful with the money.

That is looking great @Ploshkin  I love the colours

@Celia If I was looking to buy it second hand I would only want to pay about £1200-£1500 and I would only pay this if I was absolutely sure of its history.
