Nessie's questions......Good idea. This is my first swap and had fun picking out materials, waiting for the rest to come in the mail box. Should have already arrived here but......
If you like chocolate, do you prefer white chocolate, milk chocolate, of dark chocolate? DARK
What are your favorite fabric colors? greens, purples, black, cream (off white), yellow. I like jewel tones, earth tones, marbles, batiks, stonehenge type fabric, blenders, Small prints etc.
What are your favorite non-fabric colors? Purple, green, brown, black, white, charcoal.
Would you enjoy receiving sewing notions, such as seam rippers, small rulers, etc.? Sure.
Would you enjoy receiving quilt patterns or books? If so, give examples of what you don't already have. Yes! I would love books/patterns to do with beginner - intermediate piecing.
Do you enjoy non-quilting books, such as fiction? If so, what type? I like mystery, and general fiction. I keep my Kindle loaded for night time reading but love quilt patterns to read and try to understand.
Would you enjoy receiving a regional T-shirt? If so, what size? Sure, Medium
Would you enjoy receiving regional postcards or other souvenir items? Yes thanks.
Would you enjoy receiving a pincushion or needle-case? Yeah, pincushions.
Would you enjoy receiving socks? Yep! Love socks.
Please list any other items, you'd be happy to find in your SS package.

Question- Do you think it would be ok to send my giftee some of the wonderful quilting and sewing tools I have bought and will never use? These were not cheap, just have no intent to use them. When I bought them, I was still learning and got them at a great price, so I have them, but I have discovered that some quilts and other projects just don't excite me as others do. What do you think?

Wow… this thread is blowing up I think I read everything! I am hoping my Secret Santa isn't frustrated due to not enough info… I'm new to the board and don't post a lot. But I'll fill out the second round of questions below just in case.
My giftee's gift box is all full to the brim and I've had a lot of fun putting it together. I am really hoping she likes everything!
1) like buttons? Sure! I'm pretty new to sewing and quilting so I've never really used any, but maybe I'll make a tote or a purse or something.
2) like zippers? Zippers are great.. have never actually installed one though!
3) like wonder clips? Yes, I have both sizes though
4) drink coffee, and/or hot tea, iced tea? yes to all and love them all
5) like Christmas themed items? (not just fabric but other items also) Sure
6) like embroidery bookmarks? Sure
7) have any grand kids? No kids, just lots of animals.
8) put up a Christmas Tree? Yes, a real one bought from a family run christmas tree business near our home where they grow the trees there.
9) like handmade (machine embroidery) ornaments? Yes, I love special ornaments that have a memory
10) would you like a travel cup/mug? Yes, especially an insulated one. I work outdoors, year round.
11) how do you organize your fabric? I have a couple sterilite tubs, that hold fabric wrapped on comic boards, and precuts. I don't have a huge stash - I wish! lol

Ok, first of all... Anyone else gaining weight just reading about all the treats and drinks?!?! Or is it just me....
Second - guess what, Santee! I was gifted some fabric, and one of the pieces is 2 YARDS of just what you asked for!! I'm so excited!! There were also some smaller pieces that I made into a mini-jelly roll for you. Now, that is on top of the beeeeeeeeeeautiful FQs I bought you. So far, I have made you a small fabric basket (and filled it with notions and goodies) and this weekend, I hope to make you something else (a little bigger) you said you might like.
I wonder if you are an apron person like me...I once made this for a swap:
