BOB and abbreviations

As a general rule -

BOB and I HATE abbreviations -

Some are obvious -

And we quilters use them -

All of the time -

Like -

FQ for fat quarter -

HST for Half-Square Triangle -

QST for Quarter-Square Triangle -

BOM for Block of the Month -

And I often use -

LHQ for Left-Handed Quilter/Quilting -

They are a kind of "shorthand" -

For quilters -

Remember "shorthand"? - ;))

But I felt bad the other day -

When I used one on my blog -

And forgot that not everyone -

Knew what it meant -

TUSAL is Daffycat's Totally Useless Sew-A-Long - here - ;))

I remember the feeling -

When I read a post a while back -

On Grandma Rockton’s blog - here -

She’s a VERY sweet lady -

And my VERY FIRST follower - ;))

But I had to leave a comment -

Because I had NO idea what she was talking about - ;))

She explained in her next post what IBOL meant - here -

But I am still confused about the rest -

So I try to make it a habit -

To NOT use abbreviations -

If I can help it -

Because -

When I see them on other blogs -

I know that I probably SHOULD -

Respond with -

OMG -

GMTA -

IMHO -

ROFL -

Or -

LOL -

BUT -

What I REALLY want to say is -

EIEIO - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
