I'm not sure what WIP means or DH or DD is there a list a person could have to understand all these short cuts
thanks

WIP is Work in Progress, DH is Dear (or other adjective, no, just being funny) Husband, DD is Dear Daughter. Do a search for abbreviations... Welcome from Washington State!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

WIP = Work In Progress
DD = Dear/Darling Daughter
DH = Dear/Darling Husband
LQS = Local Quilt Store

Use the search feature at the top right of this page and put abbreviations in the search box. That should give you lots of answers.

I copied this from another forum but hopefully this will help...
