Do you like the Clover style binding clips? Love them and could always use more!
lace book marks? (stitched on an embroidery machine)? I could use one or two because the cats chew up the paper bookmarks!
Do you like magazine subscriptions? Yes! Quilter's World, For the Love of Quilting, and Quiltmaker!
Do you do any hand sewing/quilting? Yes, Hexies!!
Do you like "fat" ink pens? Fat as in thick grip or fat as in thicker line?? Either or works.
Do you like small note pads? I get some every year so I have plenty! I like the ones with the magnet on the back so I can keep them on the refrigerator for writing out grocery lists.

The mini quilt for my recipient is coming along much faster than I expected! Since it's my first time actually piecing something together, I've had to adjust some of the seams on my blocks, and a few things don't match perfectly, but it's my first try and I really hope she doesn't mind! It is definitely personalized to my person
It's all hand pieced, and will be hand quilted, so instructions will be to "wash gently"!

New questions for me to answer...
1) Do you like the Clover style binding clips? I have not used them yet, but I think I would like them.
2) lace book marks? (stitched on an embroidery machine) I read quite a bit, and they sould lovely, so they'd be well used.
3) Do you like magazine subscriptions? if yes which one(s) Yes I like them, but I have only read a couple quilting magazines and don't know what they were called. I'd be up for anything.
4) Do you do any hand sewing/quilting? Yes to both. I want to make at least a few quilts completely hand pieced/hand quilted. Eventually I'll have to learn to piece and quilt on a sewing machine, but not yet.
5) Do you like "fat" ink pens? Not sure what these are, but if you find them useful, I might too.
6) Do you like small note pads? (small enough to put in a purse) Yes. I take a lot of notes on my phone, but it always seems like I'm looking for a piece of paper to write on.

1) Do you like the Clover style binding clips I have the all the red ones I'll ever need, however I would like to try the larger ones.
2) lace book marks? (stitched on an embroidery machine) Yes, yes and double yes again!!! I love embroidery book marks.
3) Do you like magazine subscriptions? if yes which one(s) McCall's quilting and McCall's Quick Quilts, both of those subscriptions are coming up for renewal. I'd be thrilled with older issues of either of those magazines too. I find the directions in those magazines written in a format easy for me to follow.
4) Do you do any hand sewing/quilting? no hand quilting, however love hand work like sewing on binding, embroidery, cross stitch, some wool applique kits are waiting for those snowy days ahead.
5) Do you like "fat" ink pens? Sure
6) Do you like small not pads? (small enough to put in a purse? Not really
I really appreciate reading the posts even if they aren't my person it gives me additional ideas that fit in her wish list.
