We "wintered" in the SW for 15 years and one of the pluses of now wintering at home is how much more fabric one can pack into a three-bedroom house! :lol:

How cute. I have 1 PIG. It's actually in a plastic bin but I'll count it as a PIG. My list of writing projects is enormous. Hmmm, what would I call 4 novels, 2 interview, 2 blog post, etc. etc.
PAT? Projects Awaiting Typing?

I have all the above :oops:

How about:
UFQTs (UnFinished Quilt Tops = PFQTs (partly...
or
FQTs (Finished Quilt Tops)

Me too! During my project with the 40 quilts I got about 20 more of those zipper bags and they are all used up so I guess I have a whole heard of pigs! LOL
Isn't life grand!

I don't have PIGS but I do have PIB (Projects in Boxes) I don't like bags laying around, to messy!!

JeanDal 02-07-2011 07:17 PM

Wow! I love learning new terminology!

mpeters1200 02-08-2011 12:31 PM

I have PIGS and WhIPped PIGS. My regular PIGS are fabric and such for a specific project, not yet started. My WhIPped PIGS are projects in grocery sacks that are works in progress.

I have 3 right now. One is a full top ready to be quilted, the other two are potential UFO's that I must finish before I start any new big project this year.

I'm easily in the double digits, but working my way down again.
