    Aw how nice of her, friends like that you cherish for a life time. I searched and searched around the internet until I stumbled upon this board and instantly felt at home.

    Sandy, squishies are soft packages of fabric, or a little quilt that someone sends you in the mail. Because it's fabric, it's soft and you can "squish" it, kinda like Mr. Whipple squeezed the Charmin! :mrgreen:

    A firmie is a package that has a book, or magazine in it. It obviously doesn't squish.

    If you get a mixed bag (both fabric and books or other gifty things) you can decide whether you want to call it a squishy or a firmie!

    They are really fun to get, and most of the time are a complete surprise to the recipient.

    Some people call fabric they have ordered and receive in the mail squishies, but most of us just refer to it as "look what I ordered!"

    Here's wishing you lots and lots of squishies!

    gaigai,

    Thanks for the explanation. I've been wondering for a while, but didn't want to look stupid. I finally decided I wanted to know more than it bothered me to look stupid. :lol:

    Aw Sandi, you don't look stupid! Every group has it's own special vocabulary, and how else are you gonna learn it unless you ask! There's no such thing as a stupid question!

    I love the sisterhood/brotherhood that quilters have. It is a special relationship.
