Teresa,

The Doll Quilt swaps are
HERE for January. They are just small "wall hanging"
miniature quilts, and they are all just lovely.

Here is the February swap sign up. Sing up for the February swap ends Jan. 31st.

That t-shirt dress is adorable.

I know many (younger) girls who would love to wear
those.

i know somewhere in my future, i will be thousands of buttons lighter than i am now and that is fine with me. i have moved away from collecting things to collecting experiences and memories now and moving all this stuff is not working for me anymore. i have some buffalo nickel head buttons from 20+ years ago that i still can not find. oh well they will turn up.

teresa i am sure i can find you some buttons for your collection from this assortment.

here are my vintage buttons in large tackle boxes and bags.

Hi QL: I think that any information that you add to the RAK list is wonderful, because that helps all of us be a better community of helpers. It is helpful to have things all in one place too. Then I can think, who wanted what? , and it is right there.

Thanks for all you do to help each of us be better persons Louise. mary

mooretll - zippers and old t-shirts

I am adding a column to my database that will
list items "wanted/needed".

This is kinda of a "mini" poll
Do you want it added to the RAK list?

Also along those lines do you want a column added
for birthdays? (month and day ONLY)

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Default I've been RAK'ed

Thank you to Krystyna I am looking forward to making so of the quilt blocks in this calendar.
I hope everyone feels better soon. Also agree that anything you add to the rak list will be helpful. Well, now had it rotated but did'nt hold.
