Open a fabric/quilt shop.

God is in control and so far He hasn't erased it from our minds, so....

Thanks

Perfect! I will be praying about it and will give you suggestions later. IN the meanwhile, let me just say, Wonderful. I am glad you and your hubby have this dream. Blessings for you, Linda

I like "Material Connection"

There is a place here called "A stitch in time" so a domain may be hard to get if you want an online option.

QUILTN, or QUILTN GRANNY'S, the TN for Tennessee, short and sweet.

I don't think you need to add Granny to the name. You look way too young for that. People will come in looking for a "Granny". They will ask you if your Gramma is in! lol

Quilt .... creative

how about:

Hi, I'm not new to the "reading the message" or checking out everyone's great pictures, just new to joining in with an opinion. How about the name, "The Fabric Stash"?

Thanks for the compliment. I'm older than I look and actually am a grandma. :)

Ditter43 06-10-2010 11:51 AM

I have the perfect name...."Quilty Pleasures".... Or Phyllises Cotton Patch.

I like
Granny's Country Quilt Shop
Granny's Country Quilts Etc.
The Hen House Quilt Shop
The Hen House
Granny's Hen House
Country Quiltin'
Granny's Country Quiltin'
Quilts, etc
Country Quilts etc.

I like the Granny in it because it gives a warm feeling, almost everyone has a great experience with their granny. You certainly don't have to be very old to become a grandmother. Also I like to have quilt or quilting in the name, because it identifies the product.

Good luck, I think that is very quilters dream and it is great your husband is supportive. Be sure to set up a great web site, I buy most of my fabric on line.

The kind of shop names that attract me are the cutsie ones.

Sew What
Sew Crazy

Oh, I know..........how about Patchwork Palace. You could have a crown hanging on the last letter. People remember things like that.

Pati- in Phx 06-10-2010 01:44 PM

How about "Quilt Country" for a name?
Simple, short and sweet.

The last I came up with ismy favorite! Good Luck at nameing your store!

wraez 06-10-2010 01:50 PM

Hmmmm, Phyllis be sure to look into the cost of signage! It might be different where you are but here in CA the longer the name, the higher the cost...and I mean HIGH. Used to own a pizza shop and we tried to keep the name short. But our sign had to have individual letters, thereby the high cost. Signs that are one long piece illuminated behind the name over the plastic might now be as costly.

as to a name suggestion I'll think about it after I see some of the other suggestions.

hey, how bout ... warm quilt hugs?

warm quilt hugs, Sue in Ca

QuiltingGrannie 06-10-2010 02:00 PM

O.k. Friday morning 6/11/10, will be the cut off limit for name suggestions.

I have so many to choose from now! You all have been great! Who knew they were so many possibilities!?

It will be a while before I announce the name as I don't want someone to steal it and then not be able to have it. It will take a little while to get it registered and the business licensed. It will then be a longer while until a store will be opened since we need a name even before we get further in the process.

Continue your good thoughts and prayers.
I will keep you updated.

Happy Quilting
Phyllis

red roses 06-10-2010 02:08 PM

Phyllis, I can't think of a name at the moment, but I sure hope this all works out for you! It would be so exciting to start your own quilt shop. We could all support you with on-line orders! Definitely keep us posted on your progress!

galvestonangel 06-10-2010 02:14 PM

If you are in the trees about Quilting in the Woods?

Are you close to Nashville? We went shop hopping around Nashville and found shops scarce. We found one in Goodlettsville that was very nice, the only other shop we found was on the south side of Nashville, it was a mess. We were very disappointed there were no more quilt shops in that area.

I wish you and your DH much success. I think we all carry a hidden desire to open our own quilt shop. You go girl!

Country Quilting Concession!

keesha_ont 06-10-2010 02:27 PM

You also want something that starts at the beginning of the alphabet in order to record it in the phone book as that goes alphabetically!

There are many many cute names out there that the domain names are already gone for that reason I would put Phyllis in the name. OTOW, if you want to sell it later you would want the name to be more generic. I will dream on it.

There is a quilt shop here in my town called Seams To Me! Good name! Great shop :D

Good Luck on your endeavor.

raspberryparade09 06-10-2010 03:00 PM

So many great suggestions. I wish you the best of luck. It will be so exciting opening a new store, and buying all that fabric!! I can't wait to see your web site.

My suggestion is: Quilting Grannie's Fabric and Quilt Shop.
I will concede my recognition to topper1.
............
I am on my edit time now.
I thought of an execellent idea!!!!!!!!!!!!
A bed & breakfast along with your quilt shop!!!!!!!!!! Think of the retreats you'd pull in. Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!

That's were my retreat was in TN and the quilt store was next door. I really think that's an awesome idea. The house we stayed in had 1 room downstairs with 3 beds, 2 rooms upstairs (one of the room's had 4 beds I don't remember about the other room. Kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a big area for us to sew in. It was awesome!!!

I'm not good with picking names either...But I do hope your wishes come true and work out for you.

RoxieK 06-10-2010 03:18 PM

How about "Happy Quilting with Phyllis"
or "Phyllis' Happy Quilting"

love all the suggestions Good Luck

patti-cakes 06-10-2010 03:28 PM

Not really a name suggestion here but I belong to a gift retailers forum and saw this today in their semi weekly email. Thought it would be some interesting reading about other quilt shops and what they have done to be successful!
Hope I did this right! - Patti

Thanks for the info.!

I really liked "The Stitchin' Post" but I would add Phyllis to it (because I will bet that stitchinpost.com is probably taken already).

"Phyllis' Stitchin' Post" is my suggestion. But I'm usually much better with band names :P

When you do figure out your name, grab the URL right away. Godaddy.com sells 1 year domains for 10-15 dollars.

(My quilting business is "Wendy's Handmade Quilts" - but I'm not a brick & mortar store)
