I know just how you feel. I didn't get all the acronyms at first either and sometimes still have to think about it. I will post some pics of my FW and her customization tomorrow. But will tell you that she matches one of our classic cars. I am naming her after my great aunt who was a beautiful little lady and a fabulous hand quilter.I am named after her and when she passed away they gave me the last quilt she pieced.The Lone Star. I do feel a lot better today.Thanks for all the prayers for our wonderful military and may GOD Bless them all.

Where do these abbreviations come from?
DD

Where do these abbreviations come from?
DH = Dear Husband
LQS = Local Quilt Shop
DS = Dear Son
DDIL = Dear Daughter-in-law
DGS = Dear GrandSon
etc.
