I am a member of the Bellingham Modern Quilt Guild and they hosted a Sew Day yesterday with the focus to make a name tag if you didn’t have one. I had not managed to get one done yet so I jumped at the opportunity to get mine done!
After digging around on the interwebs for ideas I decided I wanted to piece the letter B for my name tag. I found this paper pieced alphabet pattern through a Google search and then dug through and found some cute pink and yellow fabrics in my stash.
I got the B pieced and added some extra background at Sew Day yesterday, but that was as far as I got.
Today I quilted the name tag quilt sandwich, added a magnetic attachment on the back (like on a retail store name badge), and added the binding.
Tah-dah! Finished name tag in time for our monthly guild meeting tonight!
If you are in the Bellingham area I highly recommend coming to the Modern Quilt Guild! We even have members from as far away as Skagit County, and there is another Sew Day coming up on October 22. The guild is just the nicest group of crafty ladies and I really enjoy seeing everyone’s creativity. Sewing a group and being able to share is really a delight for me.
I hope you get a few minutes to create today! Let me know in the comments what you are working on, or if you have ever made a fabric name tag!
