A Quilting Glossary

I found this great glossary of quilting terms, apparently out of Australia. There are a lot of glossary listings out there - but this one seemed the easiest to navigate. If you're ever not sure of a term, this is a great site to bookmark and use as a reference.

Australian Craft Wiki Quilting Glossary

I particularly like their definition of UFOs (which is how I started this whole blog):

"UFO Shorthand for UnFinished Object. A project you started but have not finished yet. Doesn’t count if it’s just an idea on your mind or a pattern on paper. Some people tend to attract UFOs, and some repel. Most quilters have at least a couple. UFOs are a NON-GUILT-ITEM. You are obviously letting them age (like fine wine) while your creative mind is developing other projects."
