The d usually refers to "Dear" Husband, S-Son, DIL-SIL Daughter-in-Law, Son-in Law, Sister-in-Law, etc.
You usually can decipher wwho is being referenced by the conversation.
Happy Quilitn, Susan

I'm in window work and DH means "double hung" sashes.

Oh dear let's not combine the meanings.

OMG! I just spit out my coffee laughing! Too, too funny!

Dear Husband! DGS = dear grandson, etc. Welcome to the board!

And it's not just quilter talk. Those terms are used on pretty much any chat room or message board.

Love this one!! I live with an OF also. In fact, I could probably be considered an OF!! I too am new to quilting and was having a problem with all the abbreviations and stumbled across the list. I have even saved it on my computer so I can refer to it as often as I need to. You would think after working for the federal government for 30+ years I would be able to figure them out!! I am just not up to date with the "cellphone-ese"!! Know a few of them, but not many!!

somewhere there is a thread of alot of the abbreviations used. I thought I had it bookmarked.

Oh yeah! It is all in the interpretations!!!

I was once told: "There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers." I agree that there are no dumb questions, but on this board, you get great answers! Love OF response!! Have to remember that, but I am an OF, so I will probably forget! lol
