Default How many ways to say UFO?

How many different ways are there to say UFO (unfinished object); WIP (work in progress). You know, the labels we give to those highly creative pieces that are hiding away in closets and on shelves. I would like to use this in a brief talk at a guild meeting and most of those cuties have slid right out of my mind.

PIGS - projects in gunny sacks (Don't know if I've heard that before or if I just made it up)

Edited - Oh, now I remember, it's supposed to be grocery sacks. Not that it makes any difference...

There are some more interesting acronyms for you here - http://quilt-ez.com/quilting-acronyms/

My favourite is always
PhD = Projects Half Done!!


Now here's a *giggle* for everyone ... one time here I mentioned that I was working on my PhD. Subsequently, I complimented for the hard work it takes, and asked what was the subject matter. I had to disappoint them ... with the truth!
