How about we make up an Acronym Glossary? I just saw on a post where someone questioned was "EQ" was (Electric Quilt - quilt designing computer program). And while I've seen any number of Quilt Terms Glossaries, I've never seen one for Acronyms.

I know a few times ... okay, more than a few ... I have wondered about some of these myself. I remember asking many, many, many years ago what "BOM" was (Block of the Month). And I wondered once if "DDD" might have been about their "darling devoted dog!"

I'd be happy to accumulate the info as it comes in and put it into a use-able format and upload it for all of us. But if there is already something out there and I've missed it, please let me know.

Whatcha think?

I was given a reply when I first saw a few I could not figure out. Some aren't on it, so if you take this and add to it, maybe you can at least have one to tag up beside your computer.

I have some from quiltpox.com

Thanks, friends. That got things off to a wonderful start. I think perhaps what's needed is a list of Quilt-blog acronyms with a few general chat acronyms thrown in.

That started a significant list and I'll add to it over the next few and see if I can't get it reduced to a one-page download.

Appreciate your quick input.
