Absolutely! That's what I did - I went and got red hair, bought and paid
for it was! I'm thinking of redding my red in a week or so!

And thanks, Diana (and thanks, Carolyn-in-Harlingen, who started this
bit, long time ago). It's changed (and nicely, I think).

But speaking of squishies (which we weren't, but kinda were, now that
I
got to this), those who SEND them might do WELL to include your e-mail
addy, either inside, or on the return address .... unless it's to be
completely anonymous.

And those of you who GET them (and don't have an addy to respond
privately to (see above, you senders)), can just post a "looking for
XYZ" or "XYZ, e- me privately", in lieu of public thanks. If that
doesn't work, then look in the Directory (although lots of us aren't
in
it; just chose not to be) ... or if all else fails, contact one of the
"regulars" (again, privately). LOTS of us (not me, lately) keep a
whole
'nother list, and chances are, you can FIND your "squisher" (you would
be the "squishee" ... and ain't it FUN?)

Grins,

Sairey (who still thinks a private gift should be acknowledged
privately
... see the extension of this "FAQ" post, about squishies)

Do your best to remember to put OT in the

What is a Hug, and how do I contribute?
Hugs are quilts made by this group to help someone through a life
altering
event, and let them know how much we care. Karen, Queen of
Squishies,
maintains a Hug list. When a Hug quilt is needed someone will
contact
Karen,
and she in turn sends an email to
everyone on the Hug List with instructions and color preferences,
date
due,
and the reason for the Hug. Its always your choice to participate or
not.
Hugs can be made without going through Karen and the list as well.
Anyone is
welcome to start a Hug,
when they feel the need is enough. A very touching explanation of
Hugs
will
follow in post in this thread.

What is a Squishie?
A squishie is an envelope that comes to you, thats slightly fat and
squishie. It can be a bit of fabric someone knows you'll love, or a
birthday
surprise, the main thing is that when a squishie comes in the mail
it
makes
you feel like smiling. The same thing happens when you send them
out,
oddly
enough! When thanking someone for a squishie please try to contact
them
privately, off the list. If you arent able to most of us don't mind
sharing
in the joy of a public thank you. A follow up post with a more
eloquent
explanation will follow this post.



What is a Thunkie?
Its similar to a squishie but it can thunk instead of squish and
hold
interesting things related to quilting, like chocolate or special
things
we
quilters find indespensible for quilting.


What are all those abbreviations?
LQS Local quilt store
TSWLTH The store we love to hate aka Joann fabrics.
DH, DS, DD, DSM Dear Husband (or dratted, danged etc.) Dear Son or
Dear
Sister, Dear Daughter, Dear Sweet Mother.
S.E.X. we use this manner of spelling to discourage trolls from
seeing
it...
it means Stash Enhancement eXpedition or fabric shopping!

What is the Directory or how do I get someone's address?
A directory of everyone who chooses to be in it is updated two times
a
year. Watch the newsgroup for posting about the next update. Only
people
who
are listed in the directory are allowed to have it. No one is
allowed
to
give the information in the directory out to anyone who isnt in it.
Not
everyone chooses to be in the directory, so how do you get someone's
address? Ask them for it. Its ok, it wont spoil the surprise if you
wait
till they forget you asked. Or, ask someone else to ask the person
if
its ok
to share their address with you. Be sneaky. Its ok.

Trolls and flame wars... what are they and what can be done about
them?
Trolls come to groups to try to stir up trouble. The best advice is
ignore them. Its fun to poke at them or treat them as legitimate
posters
but
they thrive on attention.
Flame wars are discussions that get out of control and angry words
are hurled about with abandon. Its easy to get caught up in the heat
and
say
things that are regretted later. We all have bad days. All of our
words
are
open to interpetation, lets all try to give people the benefit of
the
doubt
and believe the best of them and their posts.

How do I find an old post?
Go to



http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...roup=rec.craft
s
.textiles.quilting or use http://tinyurl.com/rab3 , thats the url
made
easier,.and use the search option, remembering to use the "look in
this
group only" function. If you still cant find the information youre
looking
for then feel free to ask the group.



Please take the time to read the followup posts in this thread. Some
of
the
most touching tributes to this group and the love we generate is
there
for
you to savor. Good info on picking out a good sewing machine will be
found
there too.
