Default Quilt acronyms

As you know, as quilters we're pretty good at coming up with short set of letters to explain quilting terms - I mean, we've all got UFO's, right? And we happily use FQ's in our quilts or bags too.


Try googling quilt acronyms, and you'll find some like these:
(Not so familiar, but very clever)




HSY Haven't Started Yet


PHD Project Half Done (yes - we all have PHD's behind our names!!!)


WIM Work In Mind


WIVSP Work in Very Slow Progress


TOAD Trashed Object Abandoned in Disgust


PIG Project In Grocery bag


USO Unstarted Object


STASH Special Treasures All Secretly Hidden (!!!)


SABLE Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy




And my favourites...


FART Fabric Acquisition Road Trip ( so can we call previous trips Old farts???)


WOMBAT Waste Of Money Batting And Time

Hope these help you make your way around the alphabet soup!
