    It's hard to remember them all. There's a list floating around with definitions for all the abbreviations. I need to put it on my desktop. Can anyone direct me to that list?

    A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
    And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

    Thanks for sharing the list Annika, there were a bunch of quilting-related ones that I never would have guessed.

    ... But now it's just so tempting to start a post with "Ladies! What a great FART I had today! That was the best SEX I've had in a long time! Now if I can just get rid of the PIGS!"
