Although I've not yet participated in a SP exchange, I'd like to; will have to watch for sign ups. Assume that will be in exchange/swap section?
I think the question around holidays celebrated or recognized is a good one. Oh, heck, I think all of the suggestions thus far are good. I also agree with Mary (lawsonmugs) that it is nice to include a little of what is happening in one's life.

What a great question.
And I like the used magazine question.

The reason I say this is that I sometimes am looking for certain colored fabric for a project but it may not be my favorite color so I might not have that color on hand but the quilt needs it.

Fiction, Non-fiction, Mystery, True crime.
I guess for the one answering the questions should give more information ... elaborate a little more.
But there is nothing wrong with adding more questions either.
I also agree with the question on what type of quilting do you do ... and also the kind of beverages ...

[quote=Havplenty]Lori, the question of do you have allergies is already part of the template as well as what type of quilting means (i.e. fmq, embroidery).
You k now I read this everytime and it has never dawned on me to list 'smoking'. I don't consider it a allergy per'se but the smell of smoke I get in some SS packages from smokers is hard on me when I first open the package up and 'smell' the smoke. I have even had to sit my package items outside on the patio for a few days to get rid of the smell.
**So maybe a more specific ? regarding the smoking would be helpful??
**I also like the idea of maybe a ? regarding coffee/tea and what kind. These would be about the only 'kinds' of drinks we could send in the mail. :)
**I also like the ideas about magazines,
** BUT as mentioned above all this could be put in the 'more about you' part at the end.
I would not want to make things harder for Lori or cause others to think .'there is too much to fill out'. Ya know?
Lori you are doing an AWesomE job at this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! :D :-D :wink:

Here's a thought from sik1010
"I thought about some quicker alternatives for our international friends. I thought if we knew of a local fabric/quilt store, we could order a gift card. I mean if they had a local place where they shopped. Instead of the usual $10.00, I would be willing to buy one that included what shipping would cost me" She pm'd and asked my thoughts, i think it is a great idea :). I hope that she doesn't mind me putting her suggestion forward.
