It's all in a name?

Sooo, I thought I had it all figured out. A word play on my name would be the perfect name for my new long arm quilting business, right? I was even one step away from ordering business cards etc.  So what happened you ask?  I was sitting at football practice the other night talking to another mom who happens to work in advertising.  We were talking about the ads that people are going to put in the football program and I mentioned my new venture.  I told her that one day Chandler saw me quilting and said "Mom, are you drawing with thread again?"  She got a thoughtful look and said she really liked that for a business name.  This is coming from a non-quilter.  And so I told her about how I was going to be "Beautiful Bee Quilting". But now I may change directions and be "Drawing With Thread" quilting services.


 I like the idea that it will make non-quilters pause and wonder what it is.  I know that most people think of quilters as little old white haired ladies sitting around a frame.  Us quilters know better than that! But I am going to be doing t-shirt quilts and so I need to attract to a certain population that does not really know much about it. And so a name change might be in order. 

What do you think? 

By the way, I will be open for business Sept 7, 2012!
