Hi!

I have been making stuff to sell at markets, and craft bazaars. I want to have a company name. Any suggestions? I use treadle sewing machines for my quilting, and I really like Quilteremily - but Quilteremily what?

Thank you :)

How about qulterbee-emily?

You've answered the question with the question you ASKED - Emily quilts what? Emily quilts like a crazy woman?

How about "QuiltINGEmily" -- quiltingemily
Quilts by Emily


CompulsiveQuilter --- how about THAT for a business name?? I love her line at the bottom of her post....LOL

How about "Emily's Quilting Bee"??

Kip

How about "Treadle Maid" - a little pun on Treadle Made...

Oh - and take it from someone who named their business after their log on names for forums - bad idea.... when searching for things that I had on my website, all I found was replies to the boards I belong to ... I now have a different name for forums since according to hubby it was too late to change the company name :(

What about Emily's TreadleMades

Oh, I like Debs name!

I like that one too!

What about Auntie Em's TreadleMades? it sounds really cute this way and more into the craft shows "scene" at least to me.

how about Quilteremily Sews?

I like Debs and Auntie Ems. You could have a picture of either a victorian lady or more cutsie lady sewing at a treadle machine, as your logo.

I found Quilteremily hard to read & didn't see the name Emily right away. Auntie Em Quilts was a cute idea.

Emily Maid Creations or w/MADE - finish off the thought. Auntie Em's is very cute, too!

The name Emily came from the Roman name Aemilius. Rather than using Emily, why not use Aermilius Craft Boutique?

Auntie Em Quilts has my vote - very cute and brings up memories when we were younger.

As a business owner may I suggest that the first part of your business name be Emily. Emily's Quilting for example.
Your name needs to be unique and something people will remember. There are a lot of businesses starting with the word 'quilting' but Emily is a beautiful name and somewhat unique--people would remember 'that lady at the last bazaar whose name was Emily' :-)

I would vote for Deb's idea of Emily's Treadle Mades.

The ladies here on the board helped someone else pick a name for a business not too long ago. Since then we haven't heard from her. I don't want to be a part of losing another member!

Love this one--gives a lot of information without a lot of words- :thumbup:

I always liked Sew What! As in "you want me to sew WHAT?"

I like this one because it denotes that you used the treadle machine. Jan

I like that one!

I like this one, too!

I think Auntie Em would be quite memorable.

What about Emily's Treadle Treasures

I have to agree with this, I was really scratching my head trying to read it. How about "Quilt-Em!"?

Love Deb's name for your business.

I like this one, too.

guess that means I will need to change my forum name:(

Just curious, outside of the sewing world, do you think many people know what "treadle" means?

Honestly, I'm hardly sure I know. It's a machine that you pump with your foot, correct? Is there an implied value from the term? I think they are cool machines, and I've never tried one so I truly don't know.

I love Emily's Treadle Treasures - I think that would work!
QuilterEmily - is that easier to read?

Don't worry - you will not lose me!!

I like this one, too!
It could also be Auntie Em's Treadle Treasures

When we had a restaurant, we had a rep from the Small Business Bureau come out and give us some advice one time. He said be sure your name says exactly what you do. So be sure and keep it simple. I think Aunty Em Quilts says it all. You could have a picture of a treadle machine in your logo. good luck in your endeavor!

I am not sure - I don't think so! Yes it is, it is a antique generally.
www.treadleon.net I have one in my profile picture.

I like Aunt Em's (or Emily's) Treadle Made,

I also like: Threadle Made by Emily (or Aunt Em) or you could leave off the name and just use "Treadle Made" that says it all. If all you make is quilts then you could use "Treadle Quilts"

i like Debs !!!!
