Your friends ask you why you spend so much time quilting. Often that is hard to answer. Now you can share this article with all your non quilting friends.

I read this article today, and was surprised by some of the benefits. Quilting gives you.

We all have them. Lurking in our closet, for whatever reason; the dreaded UFO.

Last week I talked about the quilting acronyms for the basic sewing items found in patterns etc.

This week it is all about the UFO
UFO - unfinished object
aka:
WIP - work in progress
PhD - project half finished

What is your biggest block to getting these UFO Projects done?

For me its usually I take a class, and then never get back to it. My Guild has challenged us to seek out all our UFO's, put the project name in a jar. After finishing a NEW project, reach in the jar and get an old project. I'm hoping this is going to help me get some of My UFO's cleaned up. and when I do, I can say;

TGIF - thank God it's finished

You have to admit, Quilters have their own language. If you're new to quilting, you might be wondering about those weird abbreviations are in the quilting patterns and conversations that all Quilters have.

Here are a few to help you out;

LQS - Local Quilt Shop
WOF - width of fabric
RST - when sewing two pieces of fabric together you put the right sides of the fabric together
WST - wrong sides of fabric together
BSK - Basic Sewing Kit
