Still Here

I'm still here. Getting a handle on things. Finding new ways - reestablishing old ones. We've made it through the first Christmas without Kim. Harder on her kids for sure than on me, but we made it through.

More this week.

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.
