Jargon of the Week - Honey Bun

A honey bun sounds pretty tasty!  What's dictionary.com say a honey bun is?

honey bun 
–noun

1. Also called sticky bun. a sweet spiral-shaped bun, usually with cinnamon, raisins, and nuts, coated with honey or butter and brown sugar.
2. Also, hon·ey·bun . Informal . honey ( def. 6, 7 ) .

Origin:
1895–1900, Americanism

They are close to the quiltie term on the sweet spiral-shaped bun, but we hope they don't come with cinnamon, raisins, nuts, honey, butter, or brown sugar.  Think of what that would do to scissors and sewing machines.  Yuck!

Honey buns are another option for buying an entire fabric line.  It's very similar to the jelly roll we talked about a few weeks ago.  In fact, it's just a narrower version of the jelly roll.  The honey bun is 1.5" strips.
