My vision, for those of you who missed the thread, is to enlist members who will sew, knit, and crochet quilts, blankets, pillows, and soft toys and animals for anyone who is hurting or displaced in our local area, from infant to elderly. Kind of hard to find a name to encompass all that.
Any ideas? Something that will make people think "hey, what's that all about?"
While we're at it - if this were local to you would you consider being a member?

Great names! I have been rethinking the butterfly name because even though it is subtle, it doesn't really say what the club is.
I really like the Giving Project and the Joy Project. There are some other names suggested that I also like but are also taken. Some of them are exactly the same but are associated with different groups in different states so I wonder if it matters if someone else has the name, or if I should register it. I think name registration is state-specific. On the other hand, I would like it to be original and not come up with anyone else on a google search.

The butterfly also is the symbol for Lupus along with the purple colour ribbon. It is used because of the hope/transformation aspect but also because many of us have the malar rash which looks like a butterfly across our nose and cheeks...think it probably is a bit nicer than the "wolf" connection (we have a wolf mask and the lesions were in past times said to look like wolf bites/scratches). Personally I like the wolf connection...but to each their own:)
Anyway, good luck with your naming quest....lots of good ideas from our fellow quilters.
