I will continue my series on my Minimalism Journey in my next post, but today I am at a show called Trends and I get to hear Mary Fons (of Fons & Porter…the daughter of the original Fons) speak; and take a class from Annie Unrein of byAnnie.com (maker of those adorable purse and bag patterns and creator of ByAnnie’s Soft and Stable). I am very excited!
So I am going to focus on quilting in this brief post today – words related to quilting as a matter of fact.
Whistler Studio has a new line of fabric called Sew Hope Full (I came across it while looking at “fabric porn” online). It is filled with humorous acronyms related to quilting, many of which I have never heard of before and I thought you might enjoy (though you might have heard these before…):
- PhD – Project half Done
- WOMBAT – Waste of Money, Batting and Time
- SABLE – Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy
- UFO – Un Finished Objects
- WHIMM – Works Hidden in My Mind
- PIGS – Projects in Grocery Sacks
- WISP – Works in Slow Progress
- TGIF – Thank God It’s Finished
- HIPS – Hundreds of Ideas Piling Skyward
- STASH – Secret Treasures all Secretly Hidden
These crack me up and I can completely relate to “WHIMM”!
Do you have anymore to add to this list to share? Feel free to make some new ones up and share with us!
Brilliant, hehe, can apply to so many crafts 😀

He he, if only! I think each one of those applies…..you should see my living room, it is my art room 😉 you look in one direction, it looks fine and normal ish, turn around and art supplies and work in progress is piled high, I will take a photo and do a blog post one day, when I have a tidy ish work space……if it ever gets tidy??
