I bought some interfacing thinking I was buy fusible wed.. hahaha
so much for my "reading" the package before buying, now if I can
just find it again so I can put it in my sp box LOL as she makes items
that I think she can use it in.

I want to shout out a HUGE "THANK YOU" to Suz who is not a
member of the RAK list, but she saw my signature where I am
trying to collect mugs from ALL the States of the Union.

She was able to find me 2 mugs for my collection, one is a state
mug the other is not, but is super cool anyways.

Here they are:

The first mug is from New Jersey so I can now mark that off the
"need" list.

The second mug is "Presidents of the United States" it has their
signatures up to Clinton.

Nice Louise! I've never seen a "Presidents" mug anywhere.

Me either.

My first mother in law got a mug from the Bush Inauguration (the first Bush).
I was suppose to get her mug collection when she passed, but that didn't happen.

Gals, I am new to this thread. Regarding the light-weight fusible interfacing. Cut it into 2-1/2" strips and use to fuse two pieces of batting together when your batting is bit short. Something similar is sold at mucho buck for the same purpose. The owner of a LQS told us about use of this interfacing.

And since I am new here. What exactly is RAK? Thanks. Suzanne

RAK= Random Acts of Kindness or as you referred to it as "pay it forward".

I have a list of names, addresses, and information about each person that
helps to send items that is wanted/needed. Such as notions, favorite fabrics
colors etc...

Big thanks to havplenty and brenda21. I received RAKs from them both. I've thanked them privately and apologize for taking so long to say a thanks on this thread. Life has been crazy. I have 9 kids in my home day care now from 6am-10pm...so I seldom get to get on the board anymore :(

Thx SUZ for the tip! I will hold on to what I have then!

Wanda, thank you for the beautiful fat quarter you sent me. I sure did not expect anything in the mail. It is a navy print which will go perfectly with the kaleidoscope quilt I am planning.

So sorry Mary! Here they are:
