Can't find any additional info on my partner, but will keep looking. I've been reading all the posts and there have been a lot of really good questions listed. When I filled out my form I did try to elaborate a little, but here are answers to some of the questions posted:
Clover clips - have them, the small ones, and love them. Only have 10 and they work great when I'm doing EPP
I have a fear of putting in zippers. Have some that an elderly neighbor gave to me and someday I just might make a bag or tote that requires a zipper.
Love Christmas fabrics
Yes I applique - fusible and either hand stitch or machine stitch
I used both WonderUnder and non woven fusible
Currently I use my small Ginghers to cut but would love to have a pair or 2 of Karen Buckley's
I own 2 pair of Fiskars spring action scissors, one has very short blades and the other is a pair of shears - longer blades.
Don't own a Keurig brewer
Have no pets
Hope this helps my SS

All names are NOT out yet.
I still have about 16 more to go.
Glitch in my system that I couldn't figure out, so I waited for hubby to come home before I screwed everything totally up. I have had to re-imput things again and redo a file.
This week has been a hectic week for me with traveling and then coming home. Had to run back to airport to get hubby tonight. Rainstorm blew thru, power went out, so now we are back.
I promise...I'll have the rest of the names out tomorrow afternoon. Hang tight and please be patient....
