GIVEAWAY

I have been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to blog.
So this is a two-fold GIVEAWAY.
I have been using my GO cutter to cut up some scraps and I have around 90 2.5" strips that I will giveaway using the random number generator. next Friday 10-11-13.
All you need to do to enter is comment with a name for a new business. My mind is a total blank. I will be quilting, sewing and doing embroidery. You don't have to follow or be a follower (it would be nice).
I have been reading up on it and I need something with a positive spin to it and Average Quilter isn't as positive as I would like. Although I do feel like it fits me.
 
Anyway just leave me a suggestion and I will draw a winner next Friday using the random number generator.
Thanks

    I'll bet it's hard to come up with something that isn't already used! I listed some ideas but didn't check them out. I do follow your blog and think your skills are much better than average.

    I know a new quilter who I would gift these on to. She is making a sampler quilt to learn a new technique with each block and she wants to use a variety of florals. I see this was already suggested, but first I thought of "Margaret's Custom Quilting".

    How about linking the name to somewhere you live? For example, I live on Orchardview Drive. When I name my business it will be Orchardview Quilting. I'll put apple leaves and things on the card. I am a regular follower!

    With so many talents, how about "With Needle and Thread"? (WNT) You are certainly NOT an average quilter.

    I think "Memories in the Making" would really appeal to the everyone's sentimental side. This would work for whatever avenue your venture takes you. That way you aren't "pigeon-holed" into just the "quilting" click, "embroidery" click, etc. I think it would be a great fit for your business.

    Thank you for the chance to win these yummy strips. I love working with bits that might otherwise get tossed.

    Sincerely,
    Tricia

    Hmm a name. How about

    Everyday Quilter
    Custom Quilter

    All spins on average, if you really like it! :)

  31. JLVerdeOctober 7, 2013 at 8:38 AM

    You want to leave behind the "average"? That makes me think of playing toward the "improving", like maybe:

    A Stitch in the Right Direction

    One Stitch at a Time

    Or if you want silly,

    You Must Stitch It

    (a play on Devo's song Whip It)

  32. JJOctober 7, 2013 at 11:40 PM

    How about Down Home Stitchin or maybe Stitching Southern Style or Louisiana Stitcher or Southern Comforts.

    I like the idea of Margaret makes a job for Jo, Jim's suggestions are many but mostly run along the lines of Margaret's mess and mayhem, or Miracle of madness, but he did inadvertently come up with one that's not so bad, Over the top, which kind of implies you go as above and beyond as you do.
