Okay, I finally got around to rejoining the local guild - I had some kind of
bad experiences in the past, but I decided to give them (and me) another
chance. Now I have to come up with a creative idea for a name tag. Turns out
this month is the annual potluck and they're having a name tag contest. Any
suggestions for something I can make over the weekend?

Any paper pieced blocks you like? Can you put your name on part of a
block....like a signature block. Or do a house block with your name on the
door and your picture in a window? Do you have an embroidery machine?
Maybe you could make a mock up of a credit card with your name on it and
burn the edges as if you had burned it up in a quilt shop or show! I'm not
very clever at this sort of thing. I usually forget to wear my name tag.
In fact I haven't seen it around here for a while. Good luck!

Howdy!
Here are a few ideas:
http://cqmagonline.com/vol03iss01/articles/art216/art216.shtml
Years ago my quilt shop boss made a paper pieced name tag for me,
LogCabins w/ a pink heart in the center. I wear my guild name tag
in its plastic folder pinned over the heart, surrounded by various
quilt show pins and charms. (It lives in my Cruiser's storage bin
show/hide quoted text
so I never forget to take it to guild. <g>)
A chatelaine, one that looks more like a wide neck tie draped around
the neck & shoulders, makes a wonderful name tag display piece,
and holds all those extra goodies; very eye-catching. ;-)

Good luck, Louise!

KJ you beat me to it. On one of my other sites they had a Badge block
you could make and then write in your name and any other information
you wanted with a fabric pen.

Kathyl, How can you say you are not
creative?? The house with picture is a
wonderful idea! The burned credit card
is absolutely fantastic. YOU go girl!
