1) Do you like/want/need that dreaded pesky tool know as a seam ripper?
I have good seam ripper, but can always use a spare. I like the ergonomic handle kind.
2) Do you like/want/need micro tip Fiskar spring action scissors? I have a pair!
3) Do you wear glasses? Yes, but they are always on. Never hanging. I can't see a foot in front of my face clearly without them.
4) Do you like to cook/bake? Yes!
5) Fat quarters or yardage is fine. I am really low on tone on tone print aqua, blue and purple in my stash.

I love fabric but i'm the worlds worst colour co ordinator. I never seem to have enough frison pens, cotton or blades for my cutter. I found some more clues in my stalking today while down in the hole with my chocolates.

I’ve tried to come up with a way to “poll the audience”without giving myself up to my SS recipient. I appreciate any and allperspectives to help with my delima. 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.

You pick, maybe according to likes listed. Rather that, than gift card.

I have to quit reading everyone else's answers to questions. I can't remember the answers to the questions from my own swapper! 
I'm trying now to copy & paste her answers & comments to notepad so I can remember!

I have some new questions (now that names are given out).
1) Do you like/want/need that dreaded pesky tool know as a seam ripper?
(more specifically the seem fix style with the eraser on the end)
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
paper back fusible)
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)
4) Do you like to cook/bake?

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!

That is almost what I do.
I copy and paste all the info into a word document about my partner.
Than I read it 2-3 times and start "marking" the info by color.
Below is a small sample (using my sign-up info) of how I do my
marking.
Of course I also do the same for the name, address etc.
green = good to look for this (in the shopping for partner)
red = don't even bother
What's your favorite color? Purple, yellow, red, orange, followed
by almost all other colors EXCEPT those listed under the “worst color”.
Worst color? Brown olive/drab greens, dirty/muddy looking civil war era, 30’s-50’s era looking.
Fabric type - Batik, solids, floral, Civil War, 30's, other? Batiks, solids, blenders,
tonals, fabrics with gold and/or silver metallic. NO civil war or 30’s-50’s era
Quilting style - traditional, modern, scrappy? Whatever my mood sets for me.
Scrappy would probably be my last option.
Coffee or Tea? Both, I drink Keurig coffee (I own 3 brewers haha don’t ask why),
LOVE ice tea when not drinking coffee. I only drink certain kinds of hot teas.
Chocolate - love it or hate it? LOVE it! Dark chocolate is the best. I DO NOT like white
chocolate.
Do you prefer homemade gifts or store bought? Both/either
What's your favorite flower? Yellow roses
Your favorite snack? Depends on my mood. But I am a diabetic, so no sweets the
sugar free sweets are nasty so I don’t like them either.
What's playing in your sewing area when your there? T.V., music, book? either music
from the computer or an audiobook on my ipod.
After this I print and put in my purse for when I am out shopping I can pull the sheet
and look at the info. As I come across stuff from the list (IF I buy it) than I mark it
off and continue on.
This is something I ALWAYS do even when I play in the monthly secret pal swaps.

Well, my pattern is too big for a mug rug, so looks like my partner will get a mini quilt instead. I'm hoping I can get it hand pieced quickly, but if not, I'll have to try my hand with the machine.
I just finished cutting it out...
