and to you. Oh, and for what it is worth, I am still learning some of
the abbreviations that are used :-)

well whatda ya know....2 new species!!! My "Christmas Tree" and my favorite
foot warmer (Four Seasons) are WUH's and I make almost all my stuff in
recent times from FQ's. there's always a sale on FQ's in the Keepsake
quilting catalog, and 2xs a year my yarn catalog sales them in big
bundles...for tiny tiny prices. All this time, I thought they were just
mundane names...now I discover they have these fun names. many blessings to
you.

WUH for some reason means Wall Hanging
FE= fat eighth

ok I just gotta know.... cuz I may have some hiding some where....what's

a

WUH, and a FE. In my quilt-yard zoo, we have some pigs, and sloths, and

a

few wips and fq's, and I have a few stabs, but the other entities must

be

hiding out.

LOL
Now thats my kind of acronym!

There are SLOTHS in the living room
and PIGS on the chairs
and WIP and WUHs enough to share,
there in the closet, next to the broom.
My space is filled with FQs, FEs and such
All these letters are getting to be a bit MUCH

Not applicable to those of us who don't use the word sacks in that way.
For me, a sack is a big burlap (or similar fabric) bag used to carry

100

lb of potatoes or so..anything smaller is a bag, as in lunch bags,
grocery bags...

There's a little SLOTH going on at my house though...projects which are
Strewn Lackadaisically Over The House
(VBG)

Cool Acronym!!! That use dto apply to me as well, but not since we
redid everything in the laundry room....it's too pretty now to let
things pile up in it (not counting the ironing, but that is tucked


away


from plain sight).

I'll tell you, this totally described many of my projects. The
acronym is PIGS -- Projects in Grocery Sacks. How may of you have
PIGS too? Now come on, be honest. We're all friends here!!

Nope. None. All of my project are 1) in plastic bins, or 2) on my


sewing


table or ironing board. g No grocery sacks for me! LOL!

Because certain people can't bring themselves to say "Wall Hanging", so as
they struggle to say the words it's Wuh, Wuh, Wuh...
