I got lost in how long this thread has become... can't begin to catch up so I'll just jump in here at the end. I think I have my person's package all DONE, YAY! Just waiting to mail...
Here are my answers, tho I did send really specific info (too much, probably!) on likes/dislikes for my partner to have. Whoever asked these questions probably didn't get my name...
Do you:......
1) like buttons? Yes, but have more than enough.
2) like zippers? Yes, I use all I can get my hands on in making small pouches/bags.
3) like wonder clips? (best invention ever I think) Nope, prefer plain old pins.
4) drink coffee, and/or hot heat? iced tea? soft drinks? Love hot coffee and tea, also unsweetened ice tea. Soft drinks: not so much. Lots of water!
5) like Christmas themed items? (not just fabric but other items also) Yes but I have plenty!
6) like embroidery bookmarks? Not really big on embroidery.
7) have any grand kids? (my first is due in April) Not yet.
8) put up a Christmas Tree? Oh, yes! A real one... with good smell.
9) like handmade (machine embroidery) ornaments? Yes, but without the embroidery.
10) would you like a travel cup/mug? Can always use a new one!
11) how do you organize your fabric? Mini bolts on comic book boards, stacked like books in a bookshelf. I have stacked drawers for my different sized squares.
