okay, I am a dummy here, as I have never used eBay how or what is PayPal?? is that the only way to pay when you win a bid??
(sorry for my silliness)

Kim -

I have listed several patterns on the site already. Have more to do. However, I have emailed you with a few problems encountered when listing and/or trying to change info.

I will wait to list the other items until I hear from you.

This is a great site. I love it.

Linda, I'm sorry if my previous post was misleading. We're not selling our farm. What I was referring to was the research farm where hubby works - it's part of the huge A.D.M. research facilities (Archer-Daniels-Midland), and unless they can sell the local facility before June 30, they'll be locking the gate - and at nearly 58, hubby may have trouble finding a job.

Purdue U was interested in buying the farm, but guess they changed their mind, but now a University out of Marion (Ind. Wesleyan, I believe) is very interested in the place. So we're keeping fingers, toes, and all other crossable body parts crossed in hopes that they buy it and keep the present employees.

I'm going through patterns and books to see what I've got that I won't use again, and will be listing some items on the auction site soon.

Hi DA! Paypal is a way to pay someone by credit card or debit card without them ever seeing your personal information.

It is not the only method of payment...it is up to the seller. If they will take checks or money orders, they'll usually say so in the listing. (Now that I've said that, I've just realized that I didn't state this in my own listings! Just in case you bid on something of mine (kimsklutter), I will take PayPal, personal check, or money order.)

Linda, I'm working on your questions!

Nola, can't wait to see what you post!

Thanks, Nola, for the clarification. When you said "the farm" I thought you lived on a farm and were selling that. LOL! Glad you are sticking around.

Oops! Thanks, Kim. I, also, will take checks and money orders.

I have listed 9 patterns so far - clothing, dolls, stuffed animals, and applique, plus a child's quilt. Will be listing some quilt tops and other stuff. Probably should list some fabric, too.

Kim - as soon as you decide if crafted Items can be listed, I will have more for that, too.

Linda! I just bid on your Log Cabin Dress pattern! Did you purchase it in the 80's or buy it later? It is "FAB"!

Linda, I do live on a small family farm - but there isn't enough money in the world to buy it from me!!! Just wish it was big enough to make a living from, so hubby wouldn't have to worry about a job. We do supplement our income by selling beef, eggs, etc., but not nearly enough to live on. But by raising our own beef, we don't have to worry about recalls, and we generally have a waiting list for people wanting to buy any excess we have.

I bid on that cute baby quilt pattern you listed! DD loves to quilt baby quilts so I thought I could make up some of those and she can quilt them - that way we'll both make a profit when she sells them.

Nola and Kim -

Sounds good! I'm glad you like some of my patterns! I hope other people like them, too.

You know, Kim, I'm not sure when I got that pattern, but it and the other clothing patterns are from 1980-93, I think. And the quilt pattern Nola is bidding on is also from 1979. They are kinda nostalgic to me.

I just posted a 50's quilt top on Quiltsy. Let me know what you think.

I hope you like cats, cuz Jake was very interested in this quilt, as you can see in one of the pictures.

Now I wish I had something to list! This looks great Kim and I wish you all the best.
