Ok... so call me a dummy when it comes to posts and the abbreviations people use. I don't twitter or use face book. I finally just figured out what "LQS" meant. I thought maybe we could help others out by posting some popular abbreviations here and what they mean.

For instance: LQS I think means Local Quilt store

I see DD posted all the time and don't know what that one means.

I do know what LOL means and some are going to be doing that when they read this for sure!

Help!!

I too am abbreviation challenged. :roll: :shock:

Please share for us that are unaware. :lol: :lol: :lol:

DH=Dear Husband

DS=Dear Son
GD=Grand Daughter (sometimes addind a D=Dear in front of some of these)
GS=Grand Son
SIL= Son in law or Sister in law

BIL=Brother in law

LOL=lots of laughs

How about the quilting shortcuts. Those had me stumped for a while.

HST = Half square triangle
OBW = One Block Wonder

What is a One block wonder? I have never heard of that?!?

What does IMHO mean? I have seen it several times, but ..... ???????

There is a book out there called "One Block Wonders" there is also a follow up book. Both are inspiring to look through.
