In our quilt club, we each make our own. Fun to see all the different styles.

LOVE your idea Ifletcher. :thumbup:

i have seen every imaginable design for a name badge. my biggest problem with them is that there is not a high contrast between the background and the name. some of us of a certain age have vision issues and cannot quickly read the names. early in my quilting career, i made a combination badge/chatelaine. i used a white background and put a red sawtooth edging on it. i embroidered my name in black on the front. it was a pocket in which i could put my small scissors tied to the pocket by a ribbon. i can also put my leather thimble and credit cards. now that cell phones are popular, i'd probably make it large enough to put the phone in, too. i can put pins and needles in the fabric sides. in some situations [ex: quilt shows] i don't want to give my last name, so i embroidered just my first name on the back... again, black on white. the chatelaine/badge hangs around my neck with the same red ribbon that i used for the scissors.

our guild has a source that will embroidery our logo and name on a denim shirt....always know what to wear to guild LOL

Because we are in the mountains, we chose Delectable Mountains. It has a strip at the top with the guild name & a strip at the bottom for your name. I embroidered mine on the machine but some have done it by hand and others had one of the ladies print their strips on her computer. It's a quilted & I keep the little tack pins I have received over the years that pertain to quilting on this pin. It's really cute and I like wearing it. Oh, and everyone makes their own. Amazing to see how they all turn out just a little differently.

We too have a "fine" of 25 cents - lol - I am forever (well maybe not forever - but often) forgetting my badge. This fine goes to help pay the cost of the raffle and raffle items we have at each meeting

Can't show a picture. One group out on a trip all wore a flower with the centre had the quilt groups name on. They looked beautiful.

In a guild I belong to, each member makes their own. It's fun because it reflects the personality of each member. Also, we have a club membership pin and everyone wears their pin on the name tag. Can also wear pins from quilt shows and memberships on it as well.

I'm made one of my out mini candy bar warps. eat the candy bars and open the warp sew them together to framer a white peices fabric for the name. any one of them I made a 4 in. bug jar blocks with the name in the jar.

I have noticed that some in my quilt groups make a stole and have their names on that instead of a name tag. The put the pins for the various quilting events on them and decorate them however they want.

I made a square in a square for use with one of my groups and a log cabin design with the group's label for the other. I found a vendor where I could buy magnetic badge holders. This way I don't have to pin holes in my clothes.

Thank you all for the response. I'll try to come up with something clever.
