Oh, and my guess is 184.

I'm with you Neesie I like the small quilted items too. If I were your SS (but I'm not) I would make you a cute candle rug.

If you like chocolate, do you prefer white chocolate, milk chocolate, of dark chocolate?- Just not white.

What are your favorite fabric colors? Purple- green, teal, yellow, most any.


What are your favorite non-fabric colors? Don't think I have any???


Would you enjoy receiving sewing notions, such as seam rippers, small rulers, etc.? LOve rulers, like all different kinds.

Would you enjoy receiving quilt patterns or books? If so, give examples of what you don't already have. I love paper piecing patterns.


Would you enjoy receiving a regional T-shirt? If so, what size? XXL



Would you enjoy receiving socks? Love footsie socks.

Please list any other items, you'd be happy to find in your SS package, I'll be more than happy with what I receive.

My guess is 68
