Squishies are amazing.

I got one in the mail this morning. It is a divine shade of lime green! All bright and happy and oh the perfect timing! I needed that smile so much. My day is now starting off on a wonderful happy note.



I feel much better now, ranted and squished. What more can a woman need?



Thank you so much squishy sender. You are a dear!



~KK in BC~ thanked sender privately too


What is a sqishy? How do you rant or get ranted?

Hi Jerry. A squishie is a little (usually unexpected) "something" that comes in the mail, so named because it's soft and -- well, there's no other word for it -- squishy! LOL! It's usually fabric -- maybe just a little square, maybe a FQ, maybe something else.

As for ranting, I'm sure we've all done that at one time or another. We have to let off steam, so we rant and rave, otherwise known as getting on a soap box, blowing off steam, exploding, etc. I don't know about getting ranted -- I suspect that's a new one that you've just made up.

a squishy is a soft envelope usually filled with fabric, a fibre card and sometimes also with more fun things too :-) *very* occasionally it might be a quilt

ranting gets done by writing a post to the group that is a rant so you get ranted at when someone rants to you

HTH

Smile! A squishy is a surprise envelope that feel 'squishy' to touch and is, therefore, probably filled with fabric or pieces of fabric .... They can be anonymous or the sender lets the recipient know who its from.

A 'rant' is letting off steam (like KK's very justified first post in this thread).

The amazing thing about squishies is that they very often - more often than can be explained by mere coincidence - arrive on a day when someone really needs a boost for one reason or another. . In message , MaleQuilter writes
