Quilting CPA: Gypped!

The good news was that Ted was able to purchase a Normal Cornbelters hat. They are our new minor league baseball team, due to start play in the spring.

The bad news was that the Sweet Corn Fest was OUT OF CORN.

Grrr....

Glossary - Makes this blog a bit easier to read

I quilt. A lot. And so there are some terms you need to know.

* - indicates a Stashbuster challenge, in fact or in spirit.

UFO* - Unfinished Object. A project abandoned for over a year or more or over the year end.
WIP* - Work in Progress. A current project that's being produced.
WHIMM* - Work Hidden in My Mind - An idea that needs to be committed to cloth. Then it's a WIP. If abandoned, then a UFO.
Becky - My cousin, who gave me her large stash when she decided that fabric was no longer her medium of choice. She is a professional artist, currently focusing in sculpture.
QBW - Quilting By Week. How I measure and track my progress on my voluminous lists of projects.
Week - The week starts when my work week ends. If I’m done at noon on Friday, well then, that’s when the week starts. The week ends when I arrive at work on that last day of my work week. Typically the week ends on Friday morning and then the new one starts on Friday afternoon.
CSA - Community Supported Agriculture. Where people buy shares in a local farmer's crop. The farmer can farm to his standards, and the shareholders get wonderful fresh produce.

QAYG - Quilt as you go. A process by which quilts are assembled into mini-quilt sandwiches and attached together at the end.

D9P - Disappearing 9 Patch. A block made by making a 9 patch and cutting it in half both lengthwise and width wise. Then take those 4 pieces, twist them around and sew them back together in a manner pleasing to you.
