Not really my cup of tea:
A small item I may wish for:
I can always use:
Imagine sitting on Santa's lap......what would you ask him to bring you from his little Elf helper:
If you have a specific size of something you want please list it along with the item, **just make sure it will fit into a Padded Flat Rate Priority Envelope**.
Oh and a NOTE:
Add which NATIONAL chain places do you as the Elf might shop at... Joann, Hobby Lobby etc.. Even Target or Walmart in your hints so if your Santa wants to send a gift card it's to some place near you.

Name:Chriss / Marilynsgrammy
My Favorite Colors are: I like all of the colors, yes, even orange.
Favorite Fabrics are:I love all cotton
Not really my cup of tea:I don't care for glittery or shiny fabric
A small item I may wish for:fabric scraps to make 2 1/2 inch or 5 inch charms for scrap quilts, I'm looking for variety.
I can always use: maybe that thing you stuck in a drawer and wondered why you bought it, thread snippers, that cool little thing you make like a coin purse or wallet or whatnot, potholders, I collect thimbles and angels. We don't put up a Christmas tree anymore, an ornament made by my Santa would hang in my sewing room. If you aren't into making an ornament that is fine too, I'm quite easy to please.
Imagine sitting on Santa's lap......what would you ask him to bring you from his little Elf helper:Hard question, I have no needs. Maybe quilt patterns or magazines no longer needed, a list of applique hints, or a list of tricks you've learned that need to be passed along. A pattern I wouldn't mind having is called Charming Hoodie Sweatshirt Jacket by J Minnis or Market Street Midnight Rose by Riley Blake if you have them to recycle.
I love recycled and regifted things, please don't spend a ton of money, and no candy please,

Re: Secret Santa Hints Page for 2023
Name: Mary Z (but little known fact, I secretly always wanted to be called Ginger . Because little known fact #2, my name is really Virginia. )
Fave colors: turquoise, blue, green, purple. I love all colors, even orange, but these are my top 4.
Fave fabrics: all holidays, florals, batiks, 30's, CW, polka dot, plaids, seasonal, Christmas, Fairy Frost by Michael Miller, novelty
Not my favorite: huge prints, modern, geometric, anything that brings the 70's to mind.
Small item I may wish for: little piecing/binding clips. (the smaller size. I think Clover makes some and they call them wonder clips) or old quilt magazines (I already get McCall's, AP&Q, and Block).
I can always use: Well, if you insist, I can always use a Snickers bar. But a little one, please! Or most any old pattern you're done with.
If I were on Santa's lap, I'd whisper in his ear that I'd like 5" squares of all kinds of things so I could make an I Spy quilt for Miss Amara Kumquat.
National chain near me? Joann's.
