fun questions~ I love the fun part of this, and the stalking~ You would be surprised how many cool things I have found while Stalking~ Some pretty awesome swaps... My answers are I love all and any thing you want to include, I prefer Fqs to yardage because FQ's give me so many options I am almost done with my box but won't send it just yet! Otherwise you will know it is me! I am going to include more than one handmade item in my box, hope that is ok!
Is there a rule regarding puppy or kitty treats?
ps I love junior mints lately. They are my thinking candy!

For me personally, I would prefer the FQ's. That way there is verity.
However, if there ever a fabric a quilter does not like. I have had pieces I have hated as a whole, but when I cut them up and put them with something else I really liked them and even wished I would have more.
I would rather have my person pick the fabric. For me gift cards show now imagination and that you are really stuck on what to get the person.

Having said that, in a purely hypothetically sense, here is my question.Suppose you are asking for specific fabric print, but did not specifydesigner/line/color, would you rather have 4 fat quarters, or a single yardcut?
If I decide to do a single yard cut, will that cover the FQ requirement? If youchoose single yard, would you rather me pick the fabric, or send a gift card? I’mnot looking to wuss out, just really trying to please my SS person. I havealready decided if I go the gift card route, I will include enough to covershipping.Now I will sit here and wringmy hands, whine, and hope I get it right.

I did answer momoftana's question, but I cannot agree with you more dreamer2009. I do try to find things my pal will like, but I do not worry about; "what if she doesn't like it?" This is a fun swap and I for one am always grateful for what I get.

For those who receive what ever happened to the concept of be grateful for what you get.
This SS is supposed to be fun for all; at least it used to be.
momoftana you do the best thing your heart and the rules tell you and you will have "gotten it right''.

2) Do you like/want/need micro tip Fiskar spring action scissors?
(I love these so much that I have numerous pairs plus 1 pair just for cutting

Yes
Here is a link to the scissors I am asking about just in case you don't know
Fiskar spring action micro tip
3) Do you wear glasses? (I have been wearing glasses since I was 4 years old)
Yes, but I would never wear them around my neck. They need to be on my head so I see. I also h ave 2 pair of prescription sunglasses. One pair is kept in my car and the other in my purse.
4) Do you like to cook/bake?

I love to cook but not much of a baker. Too much science in baking. I like adding a little of this and a little of that when I cook.

I will send treats if people have pets, and don't mind getting treats for my critters either.

My answers to the new questions:
Do you like/want/need that dreaded pesky tool know as a seam ripper? Have several and use them often, so don't need them.
Do you like/want/need micro tip Fiskar spring action scissors? Don't need them as I have several for different jobs.
Do you wear glasses? Yes, since I was 18 and that was too long ago to say.
Do you like to cook/bake? Yes but have to be careful because of diabetes in family which sometimes takes the fun out of cooking/baking.
Do you like Christmas themed items or generic winter themed or none. None
Do you like a lot of little things or 1 nicer thing? I like anything I receive
Hope these answers help my SS pal. I am pretty easy to please.

Seam ripper; no. I like Clover White handle seam rippers best.
Frisker scissors no I have some.
Yes but I wear them all the time, never around my neck.
Yes/No just hubby and I so I don't do a lot of cooking. But if your taken cook book I wouldn't mind Slow Cooker cook book ( old used one).
Like FQ (no Christmas themed fabrics have a lot ). Over 1yr. cut unless it was a sky fabric
I'm just answering question

answers to new questions
don't need seam rippers the scissors look interesting but I love my little ones, love to cook and bake, wear glasses all the time, and either yard or fq are fine with me. I need more solids or blenders at this point. Oh have 2 bad black cats that live with me but they don't eat treats.

Are you more inclined to wear slippers or socks when relaxing at home? (and do you have a preferred size?)
slippers with a hard sole
And, do you like scented items such as lotion, soap, candles? (if you do, what type of scent? Floral, spicy, earthy?) spicy candles (cinnamon, spiced apples, etc)
