Ok, I'm not going to answer every question, but I will try to hit the highlights. Smile

I am allergic to strong scents and smoke. I used to love candles, but the scents got to me. My friend has battery powered candles and I loved the look without the smoke.

I don't drink coffee, but love tea. Any tea.

I embroider and love doing redwork or really any handwork.

We put up trees.. this year I am going to put a small one in the kitchen with red ornaments and red cardinals on it. I love red cardinals. I also collect state thimbles and small turtles.

I have both Santa's and snowmen for decorating.

Gutterman thread is my favorite, with Connecting Threads thread a close second. I love King Tut for machine quilting.

Love dark choc or Malou's toffee. Yummy LOL

I am sure anything my SS makes for me, I will love. My favorite colors are red/white, B/R/W, B&W. I also 'collect' batiks, CW fabrics, and anything autumn. Wink LOL

That is all I can think of for now, but I may be back and do some editing/adding. Wink

Okay, here's my wish list.

Beads – would prefer glass beads in greens, blues and golds

Books – I prefer historical romances and my favorite authors are Nora Roberts and Jude Deveraux.

Candles – No thank you. My niece is a Gold Canyon distributor. Have so many candles I already don’t use.

Candy – KitKat, Skittles, Almond Joy, Mounds, Butterfinger, to name a few

Chocolate – prefer milk and white chocolate, but will eat any! Nuts are okay. And while regular is okay, sugar-free would be great (I’m diabetic).

Collections – I collect vintage broaches and dolls (any size, shape or material as long as not creepy).

Fabric – any non-holiday fabric would be nice. I like fat quarters, 5” charms, 10” charms, and jelly rolls, too. I do like 30’s and Orientals the best.

Gift Certificates – Would prefer JoAnn’s, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby

6-1/2 inch square ruler (I have the 12-1/2 in and several others, but I’m missing the 6-1/2 inch for some reason)

Surprises! Anything that you think is unique and interesting. Surprise me!

Thread – I like Gutterman and Madeira

Yarn – any color, any type (I like to experiment with new things). If cost effective, 2 skeins/balls would be good.

Anything hand-made. I love using things that I get in my stockings each year, and look forward to new things.


LindaJ52

P.S. - Wiley, just select and copy your list (suggest using 10 pt font), then paste it into the message field when you open a reply box. That's what I just did above.

I love scrappy & oddball stuff. I encourage re-gifting. I love things to be useful rather than just decorative & if I give you something that's not useful to you, I'd prefer that you pass it along. I'm not a rabid tree-hugger but I love things that are re-purposed like those purses made from pop-tops or laptop bags made from old billboard plastic, or jewelry made from leftover computer bits, etc. I don't use patterns when I quilt because I prefer samplers or just winging it. I also like buttons.

Please let me give you a little info about myself using those questions. LOL Im not much on reading, cooking, baking or gardening but I LOVE to sew, craft and make projects. I would love anything you make in any colors or patterns to make things myself. I am not particular, recycling is just fine. I have never CQed but I love paper piecing. I like trying new things from kits, etc. I collect pin cushions. Im not allergic to anything. I like bracelets. I have a Christmas tree with sewing related ornaments. I am open to anything new that I havent tried or old things that I have done before. I like handwork. Surprises are great. I appreciate anything that you have made yourself or any ideas that you might like to share. I shop at Hobby Lobby or Wal Mart.

I am not answering all the questions, but here are a few ideas- These are items I do not need- candy,coffee, tea (because I don't drink it), perfume,no crazy quilting or poinettia fabric. I read suspense romance,love all the sport teams in Wisconsin, use gutermann thread- all colors,love the color blue, lime green, anything that has bright colors. Currently my fabric of choice is blue Stonehenge. My favorite color combination is gold/black or red/black. All my rooms are neutral, but I hang small wall hangings to brighten up my rooms. I am left handed and Pat says I do everything backwards. LOL I own a Husqvarna Viking Topaz and shop at our LQS (Sew 'N Save) I listen to 50's, 60's, and 70's music. Also love Irish Rovers and Celtic Thunder. My candle scents are cinnamon, spice, pumpkin and apple pie. I wear colorful crew socks like (Holiday socks, bright color socks). I love anything that is homemade. If your quilt shop has a quilt pin, I would love that. I do collect shop pins when I travel, if they are available.I do put up a tree and use old fashion ornaments ( Thomas Pacconi). Hope this gives you some ideas. I will love any gift that arrives in my stocking. Thanks Sue

Don't want to be the last person to write my wishlist.
Here are a few things about me.
I don't drink flavored coffees or teas, love the way they smell when I make them for DH.
I love bright "happy" fabrics, fall fabrics, mottled fabrics. I don't crazy quilt or make jewelry. I make a lot of bags and totes that I have fun with. I pick up patterns for totes/bags almost everytime I go to LQS. I have more patterns than I probably could ever make. LOL I decorate for Christmas and set up a Christmas village every year. I could always use some more accessories for the village. Lamp posts, people, the little things that make the village come alive. I collect dated ornaments and love all things homemade.
Things I like are threads, needles for the machine. Embroidery needles, I use Guuterman thread. I have a Viking Designer SE and love it. If Embroidery Library has gift certificates I love their patterns and all the ideas that are on there. I love cooking and baking, country music, 50's and 60's music. My favorite (and only) LQS is Sew and Save of Racine, Wisconsin. This should give you a lot of hints about me. I'm sure that anything I get in my stocking will thrill me. I'm wishing my Secret Santa happy Holidays and most of all to have fun with my stocking. Pat
PS I just wanted to edit my list. I saw where Sister Sue asked for pins from your LQS and I thought that was a brillant idea. I have a wall hanging that has pins and patches from Quilt shops that I visit. Wish more shops had pins to purchase. It is a fun way to remember a trip.

It's cooling off, and leaves are falling, so, holiday time is coming. I'll add some ideas, tho basically I'm eclectic; anything goes, so have fun. Recycle is fine and can be an adventure, such as vintage blocks. No books as use the library regularly. Any quilt magazine, but more fun ones rather than complex. Other hobbies include beading/gemstones. Any food/drink item is fine, dark choc, nuts, caffein, flavored teas or coffee,. Brighter, clean colors are great; any coordinating. I like to use whatever I receive, (eventually!). Guterman thread, light colors. I do CQ, so sharing of goodies is fun esp. ribbons; embellishment items are appreciated. No allergies, no pets, fun jewelry (brooches, bracelets). right handed, on-line shopping mostly for FQ, no particular favorite sites. No music, listen to classics. Have a small tree; traditional ornaments and colors. Small kit, perhaps wool table topper type if price is right. Handmade is super. Gift certificate, new Hobby Lobby about 2 miles away; how easy is that? Whatever I receive is appreciated.

Oh WOW! I'm at the head of the hold uplist. Sorry for making everyone wait!

Don't read many books, but favorite quilt magazine is the AQS one. I collect thimbles, love to bake and have mixed feelings about cooking. Do like sweets, especially dark chocolate and also like nuts to snack on. House is primarly in earthy, fall colors. Decorate in the regular Christmas colors for Christmas - green red gold - and have a smallish tree since we also have two minature dachshunds who would not leave a tree alone if it sat on the floor. Love batiks, orientals, marble type fabrics. Used to crazy quilt, but lately have lost hand coordination which has caused me to cut way back. Use candles (especially a good pine scented one) and scented body lotions. Gift certificate? We don't really have quilt shops around here, but do have Joann's and I love Thousands of Bolts. Since I am learning mid-arm quilting with an 18" machine, would appreciate pantographs or any other long arm notion.

Do not drink coffee and not much tea unless I have a cold. Please don't worry about what you give me - I know it will be just right and I will use it with pleasure!
