Only three days here

[Pien]

What a great place to be!
I learned a lot last days;
A tree skirt is not a skirt with a tree pattern.
A stripology ruler is very handy...I ordered one yesterday.
And I am not the only one making not perfect square blocks!

But I have a question, is there a list of abbreviations?
What is HST, BOM, SITP?
DH means Dear Husband?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Only three days here

There is a list of those abbreviations somewhere around here

HST......half square triangles
BOM.....block of the month
DH......dear husband
SITD.....stitch in the ditch

I'll stop there, because I know the list will pop up.

Glad your having fun!

Re: Only three days here

Welcome to this community! I live in Germany and had the same problem. I found an App that was very helpful it's called acronym finder. In the beginning I was very confused, my English is ok but not really good. I can remember staring at my iPad asking myself what the heck is a LQS, now I know it's a local quilt shop....after two years in this forum, I learned a lot acronyms.
Have fun in this community there are so many caring and wonderful people here!

We do tend to use a lot of abbreviations - here is a link to another thread that defines most of the abbreviations or funny sayings used here on the forum. http://forum.missouriquiltco.com/sho...light=acronyms

Welcome! We do use a lot of acronyms It took me a bit to figure some of them out, but now they are second nature. Any time you have questions, please feel free to ask.

STABLE = stash accumulation beyond life expectancy

If you're not there already you may very well soon be. Welcome to the group.

...and in order to get STABLE you make a FART (fabric acquisition road trip) often. Welcome aboard!

My favorite abbreviation (most days!) is MM, which is my husband. Goes back to an aloha shirt I made him a few years back with monkeys all over it and we now, on the forum, call him Monkey Man, or MM.

Here in Australia MM means "mere male", an endearing term used when the male in your life does something a bit weird/cute/odd/unexpected.

Re: Only three days here

Thank you!
I found the App and the list. That helps a lot.
Some of the abbrevations are very funny. ROFL
