For best results we recommend doing both! Iron your patch in place and then secure the outline with a few stitches.
Over time the iron on material will start to wear away, espcially with multiple washes. But the stiching will hold your pactch in place!

Felt can go in the wash but it will get pilly over time. We recommend washing in cold water and air drying for best results.
The iron on can wear out as it's exposed to heat and water. If your patch starts to peel up, add some stiches around the outline to help secure it.

Boris the Red River Hog's Story
Boris is a bit of a curmudgeon. You would be too if everyone kept confusing you for a warthog. He is a Red River Hog! He'll have you know that he has neither warts, nor huge ugly tusks, or flatulence problems. Boris would also like to point out that red river hogs are some of the sweetest smelling hogs you will ever find. He is proud of his handsome and dignified red fur. Nothing like the ugly, drab fur of the warthog.**
You really shouldn't bring this subject up at all with Boris. He will go on for hours about the differences between all the different kinds of hogs and how red river hogs are superior in all ways. Other topics you should steer clear of are kids these days and any sort of complaint as Boris can out complain anyone.

Let customers speak for us
Great choices for my relatives, hopefully for yours, too.
Archibald does a great job of encouraging me when my splits are low. He's one of my favorite characters because he has such a good message. I like to think that others will find strength in his story as l often do.
These multi color felt holiday lights made my home feel more festive and helped me feel more cheerful during this past covid holiday season! Loved them!
I have my framed Ira (with a teal background) at my office, and he really brightens the place up. I was originally drawn to Ira because his story dovetails with my own -- nearly always the biggest person in the group -- but I love how his new design hints at both his newfound appreciation for the benefits of his size and his ever-present awareness of that size. It's so neat to see the design and the story complement each other.
I haven't bought this one (yet...), but I just had to throw in the word that it's absolutely gorgeous. Definitely my favorite of all the larger felt art frames.
I'm so happy that my tree will feature one of the new Otis ornaments this year! (And then in January, when I put the tree away, Otis will keep my dining room company with his cake enthusiasm. Squshies have more decorative uses than Christmas trees, after all!). The new design is so fantastic, and I like his big troll butt. (I'm going to start using that phrase out of context.)
I happen to be a squshie fan, so of course I love that I get to color some of my favorite characters. But my favorite thing about the coloring book is actually that even on the complicated pattern book (vs. the kids' one, which is just awesome for my kids), the design isn't too intricate. You know what I mean -- sometimes other coloring books have such intricate designs that it hurts my eyes to try to color them. But the Squshies book is the perfect balance of gorgeous design and eye comfort. My mom loves the book, too, for exactly this reason. Great gift for anyone who's interested in coloring but maybe doesn't always get excited about eye strain.
Peaches was one of the original members of my squshies menagerie, and she remains one of my favorites. I'm always drawn to the stories, and there's just something so awesome about a pug (a girl pug at that) having a career as a heavy equipment operator.
I love Agnes! My kids begged and begged for me to get her (she's not a kids' toy, I know, but they still like to encourage me to get colorful squshies to hang around the house), but I was won over by her story. She reminds me of my grandpa -- he, too, mixes cereal together to create new and interesting combinations.
I love my Giuseppe the llama! He plays well with my other Squshies, his adorably startled expression is the cutest.
Everyone who has seen this regal owl has been amazed at its beauty. They have oohed and aahed and asked my newest Squshie. I really love his eyes and the delicate depth created with his feathers. The background and tree are perfect, too.
