Wow, you guys are great! Such quick responses - I really appreciate the info. I checked all your suggestions and websites and learned so much. Who knew? Just goes to show how creative quilters really are.
I read everything and many times LMS (laughed myself silly, ha ha). Who thinks up this stuff anyway? My printer died, but as soon as I get another one, I'm going to print out all those references and start myself a journal. Thanks again! |

I am a self-taught hand quilter and have had much success (at least I think so), but it's been a while since I finished my last quilt and have been thinking of getting started again. I figured I would get a lot of ideas from all of you who post here. My problem is that so many posts contain abbreviations that I don't recognize and, as a result, a lot of the time I don't know what you are talking about! Is there a list somewhere I can consult to figure all this out? Sometimes I am able to figure out the meaning of a topic from the gist of the conversations, but most times I am lost! Help! BOM = Block of the Month DSM = Domestic Sewing Machine DWR = Double Wedding Ring FART = Fabric Aquisition Road Trip FIU = Finish It Up FQ = Fat Quarter HST = Half-Square Triangle HSY = Haven’t Started Yet LAQ= Long Arm Quilter LQS = Local Quilt Shop MAQ = Mid-Arm Quilter OBW = One-Block Wonder PHD = Project Half Done PIGS = Projects in Grocery Sacks SABLE = Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy SEX = Stash Enhancing eXperience (or eXcursion) STASH = Special Treasures All Secretly Hidden TGIF = Thank God It’s Finished! TOT = Tone-on-Tone UFO = UnFinshed Object WHIMM = Works Hidden In My Mind WIP = Work In Progress WISP = Work In Slow Progress WIVSP = Work In Very Slow Progress WIWMI = Wish It Would Make Itself WOF = Width of Fabric WOMBAT = Waste of Money, Batting, and Time WOW = White On White WWIT = What Was I Thinking |
hi and welcome
