The owner didn't like the name the group came up with. Stitch & B$%^@. You get the picture. I can understand her concern, but then she shouldn't let the group determine the name. So we are in search of another name.

Why shouldn't the expectation be that the name does not use or imply profanity? Why is the use or implied use of profanity okay?

And I want to add - I will avoid any store or quilt guild that thinks this is okay. I find it offensive that people can't use clean language in normal, everyday situations.

I'm sorry you are offended by this. I was not trying to offend any of the quilting board by asking the question. I'm sure that is why the owner vetoed the name. I was only intending to try and see if there were suggestions for other names.

The Friday varies because of other classes that are scheduled. Thank you for your suggestions.

How about Midnight Quilters, assuming you quilt till midnight!

The idea is to quilt until the last one gives up, which for me is early. I don't do well past nine. :lol:

I didn't think there was anything offensive in your post, as you were just asking for suggestions, not criticisms or for anyone to join your group or visit your LQS. Don't sweat the small stuff, you can't please them all, and it's really none of our business what you name you group! JMHO :) Perhaps "Quit yer stitchin!"....even though we all know what that really is saying! lol

I agree that "Stitch and B*%&#" is meant tongue-in-cheek because it rhymes. However, it gives the session a negative connotation - I would expect the focus to be more on the latter than the stitching. Many potential customers would not sign up because they would not want to be associated with a PERCEIVED gossip group (possibly to include the quilt police).

In the town where I used to live there was an embroidery shop that was named "Bitchin' Stitchin'". Even though I know it was a "60's" term, it was offensive to me.

I like "TGIF", as in finished.
