WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?
Since
my younger years I've been the keeper of information. When I was a kid
my mom used me as her memory. It was my job to remember things like...
what day is this thing or that thing, where is ??????, what's little
Debbie's moms name. Then as I became an adult my friends always came
to me for information like... when's Linda's wedding, when was little Dustin
born, do you remember Mike's new girlfriends name. As a career gal I
got questions like... when's that deadline, where is the meeting, when's
this order coming in, what's that clients name.
I still seem to be the keeper of information. At the bees you come to
me for information. You know what all those questions are because you ask
them. The thing that I seem to be having the BIGGEST problem with at
this time in my life is NAMES. My brain keeps (and recalls) names of
the faces that have been around for awhile but doesn't have a name for faces
that have appeared in my life more recently. I'm sure the name is
filed away in my brain somewhere but my recall system can't find it!
It has become apparent to me that I'm not the only person at the bees with
this recall malfunction, cuz people come to me and ask, "What's the
name of the gal sitting across from me?". Neither one of us can
remember it!
My first solution for this recall issue would be for everyone to have their name
tattooed
on them in a visible spot. Nobody else seems to think tattos is an
acceptable solution. Maybe we could all wear T-shirts with our name
printed on the front! Nope? Here's an idea... NAME
BADGES! Acceptable!
As you
can see I've collected the supplies for everyone to participate in the
nametag project. You can pick the kind and color of the nametag
lanyard you feel most represents you and embellish it with your name and
doodles.
If you've been a part of the Peace by Piece Quilters for awhile
you've probably got a clip on name badge and some of the more ambitious gals
have made very creative name badges to wear. It is certainly
acceptable for those gals to continue wearing the name badges you've become
attached to. 
A QUILTERS WORK IS NEVER DONE
The Peace by Piece work doesn't stop when the bee is over. Since our last bee a tall stack of quilts have been quilted/tied, their bindings are cut and ready to be sewn on. Kit-kits have been put together and some have been cut into kits. Borders have been found for a stack of too small tops, that's the perfect project for those looking to work on something with instant gratification. Plus there's a BIG stack of tops that now have backings, those will be finding their way to the tying stations. Several volunteers took Kit-kits and other projects home to work on, that STUFF will be showing up at the bee ready for the next step.
