Words/Acronyms I use in my posts

FB – Facebook

FOTY – Fabric of the Year – An annual (or often annual) project I started in 2008 where I use one piece of each fabric I purchased that year in one quilt. The idea is to use a piece of each fabric purchased to see how it works in a project before the fabric is out of print. This type of project gives the quiltmaker the opportunity to go out and buy more if it is a really great fabric. This idea was given to me by TFQ (see below).

Lumpy colors – Brown, beige, tan, taupe, olive green; colors that have had a lot of grey or brown added to them.

OT – off topic

One Night Stand – a really fast project, often unplanned and made in a limited time frame.

TFQ – The Fabric Queen; my quiltmaker friend who lives in Seattle, Wash.

TJW – The Jaye Way; the way I do things
