The other day while blog hopping I came across s. o. t. a. k handmade and saw that Svetlana had made a couple different name tags. It was for a challenge for her Modern Quilt Guild that had just started in her area. I thought about our Happy Scrappers Bee and how we are getting new participants each month. It is such a wonderful/inspiring group and I’m anxious to learn everyone’s name. And, of course, I want them to know me too, so I decided to make my own name tag. I did this in the hopes of inspiring others in the group to make name tags too. After all we are a scrappy group and what better way to use those scraps than make name tags.
Do you recognize any of these fabrics? Some from the modern pillow I blogged about last week, some from the Monster Patch, some from the quilt I just finished and will bog about next, and some from my Modern Monday blocks. I wish I had had some cute little scraps on hand like Svetlana did in her first name tag, but I didn’t. So the above is what I came up with. Not bad. I hope you will be inspired like I was to make a name tag. It really is helpful for old/forgetful people like me. Rosa in our group made a darling name tag and has worn it from day one. We sit next to each other. She has become my best friend. I never forget her name. I’ll try to remember to get a picture of it at our next meeting.
You can get a head start on your Christmas decorations at This Year’s Dozen. There is a nice tutorial for a Mug Rug Set.
Until next time,

Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!

Darling, Caroll! I have one that I wear and it always surprises me how much more quickly others remember my name and that I am a one 'M' Michele, too! Now, Caroll, is a quilter's name of another 'l' challenge..but it's a lovely one and a great nametag!!!!
Love your name tag. It is a great idea. In my old age, I cannot remember everyones name anymore! It is not a bad idea, for wearing anytime when you are at a quilty event. Now you have me thinking some more!!
That is so dang cute, Caroll! I never need a name tag, unfortunately, but if I do I'm keeping this in mind.
Great way to use of the scraps...looks fun!!! and spunky!
This is really cute. The tiny patchwork, how fun!
Hi Caroll,
I love your name tag! It's so you!
I lost the formal one I made when joining my bee a number of years ago (it's in some basket). I just need to make a new one to find the old one...
