Girls and FARTS

I am soooo excited.  The packing has begun because the time is drawing near...  In about 10 days, a group of 6 quilters are heading south to Tucson for a couple days.  We are attending the Tucson Quilter's Guild's February meeting (click HERE for info on the guild) and 2 workshops with Bonnie Hunter (click HERE for Bonnie's website).

The purpose of the trip is as follows:
QUILTING
Hanging with Bonnie Hunter
Bonding with each other
Goofing off
Shopping
FART.... or maybe even SEX
Other duties, as assigned

To a quilter, FART and SEX is a very important part of the quilting process but we are hoping, as always, to stay away from a TOAD or WOMBAT while in Tucson.

Now I am sure you are wondering WHY I would announce to the world that the 6 of us are going to Tucson to FART or for SEX.  Well, FART and SEX may not mean what you think it does.   Below is one of the most comprehensive lists of quilting acronyms that I have stumbled across.

If you have any other acronyms that could be added to this list, please let me know. 

And if you are a sewer or a quilter, don't forget to let your significant other how happy you are if you can FART or if you can have SEX.  It could be an interesting conversation !!

Enjoy your week.
