NOTE: I ALWAYS RATE, USUALLY THE DAY I RECEIVE A SWAP. I would be happy if others would treat swaps received from them the same way. I usually mail very soon after partners are assigned, so if you haven't received a swap, PM me, I'll resend.

I am a writer, a quilter and a traveler. I live in Manhattan in a smallish apartment with too many things in it. I'm trying to give away books and other "stuff" like greeting cards and blank notebooks which I've accumulated; I may well include some such with a swap if your profile suggests it might suit you.

Things I like: cotton fabrics, chocolate [all kinds] real teas [not fruit flavors[, all colors - no special favorites. I don't like kawaii or other cutesy stuff. I'm a pretty serious person.
I love the writing swaps, and since I quilt passionately I love the fabric swaps - fabric is another thing I have really stashed up in. As well as quilt books, ribbons and buttons too. I especially collect fabrics that have some metallic in their patterns and also sky and landscape-y designs. I like rubber stamps with patterns I can stamp on fabric or envelops & stationary.

I really appreciate notes that tell me about who you are and where you live, knowing what makes people individual is the fun part of any correspondence.

Classical, the usual big names, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, and just about the whole mixed bunch. I play the piano and especially enjoy all sorts of piano music.always.

I perfer European movies to American, usually. Loved Lord of the Rings. Want good acting rather than entertainment or thrills or even laughs. Admire good script writing which occasionally happens in American movies, but not often.

Do not have a TV, consider most of it mind numbing drek. I read A LOT! I do not read genre books, as I said I'm pretty serious and especially about literature. I like books by important foreign authors, poetry, books about nature or people's travels and many kinds of non-fiction but not self-help.

Quilting most of all. I like other textile crafts. I like the paper crafts -- not cutesy, good graphics, nice color sense. All writing is craft; I write A LOT, love writing letters, as well as poetry, fiction, nonfiction and journals -- also my blogs one of which is supposed to be about quilting but is also about what I'm reading or concerned with and a recently started blog that is for my serious side and for occasional crabby rants. I'd love it if people who go to my blogs would leave a note.
