Okay, finally found a few minutes to answer the additional questions --

1. What's your favorite color? Rich autumn shades of orange, gold, red, even purple.
Worst color? Kelly green and Royal blue.

2. Fabric type - Batik, solids, floral, Civil War, 30's, other?
I don't use pure solids but like blenders that "read" as solid colors. Other than that, I like it all!

3. Quilting style - traditional, modern, scrappy?
Everything. I pretty much like everything I see and will try my hand at anything.

4. Pets? what kind & how many?
One elderly, ailing cat. She's basically in kitty hospice mode now. But still quite capable of ordering me around!

5. Coffee or Tea?
Both. I have a Keurig and love trying the different flavored coffees in that. For tea, I like any kind of basic English or Irish tea.

6. Chocolate - love it or hate it?
Love Dark. Like White. Milk? What's the point?

7. Do you prefer homemade gifts or store bought?
Like it all. If my SS doesn't have time to make something, I totally understand that. If she does have time and wants to, it will be cherished.

8. What's your favorite flower?
I guess roses are my least favorite, but really don't have a favorite.

9. Your favorite snack?
Don't really have one.

10. What's playing in your sewing area when your there? T.V., music, book?
Usually nothing, but if the TV is on it's tuned to MeTV (classic shows) or Create.

I can't find what I was given, but I found pictures of what I sent 2 years ago. My partner loved cows, in case you're wondering, lol! I always send Scottish souvenirs and local treats. If I can find more pictures I'll add them.

BTW - our LQS was owned by a lovely lady from Seattle, hence the FQs!

Found them! Last year's was from Australia. I asked for a Christmas bauble from her state (country!) and got an adorable possum which you can see next to the pattern.

Oh, a good review of last year picture. Love it when people send patterns and things they have made. I am one who needs exact directions for everything - or at least something I can look at and use as a copy go-by (unlike my DH, who wings it and then ends up with extra parts!)

Knitette, I recognize several of those things from packages I have been lucky enough to receive. I use that potholder a LOT (I may have to make more!) and I have been meaning to write you all week - which is why I got on the board for the first time in months, I hadn't been on since Spring with how crazy things have been. And then I saw this swap and got in on it first and forgot all about messaging you, sorry! I wanted to tell you that the fabric you sent me with nessie (the far right fq in the pics you posted above) went into the center of my I spy quilt and was the most remarked about square in the quilt at the show as it hung just so it was at kid level.
