UFO's

Every now and then the topic of UFO's enters the conversation at FETE (Friends Every Thursday Evening - our stitch group).Well, one of the ladies decided to write down some more terms related to quilting and / or stitching. I think some people just have too much time on their hands (GRIN)!! Here's the list to date:

  2. I love SINS - I keep lists & hope that eventually at least one or 2 disappear from that list of UFOs.
