What’s in a name?

Names hold significance. There is usually a meaningful story behind how or why you were named.  

In the Bible, when God changed someone’s name, it signified a new purpose or identity. Take Jacob, for example, renamed Israel, destined to lead an entire nation.  

As Quilters and Kit Makers, our purpose is to channel our faith into action by creating quilts and kits for our neighbors around the world. And for many of us, it’s also one of our proudest identities. 

Here are some of the creative group names we’ve seen over the years: 

  • The Material Girls 
  • The Blanket Bunch 
  • The Knotty Girls 
  • The Piece Makers 
  • The Lady Fishers 
  • The Do-Day Ladies 
  • Katie’s Quilters  
  • The Sewing Belles 
  • Willing Workers 
  • The Cover Girls 
  • The Ties That Bind 
  • The Cut-Ups 
  • We Tie Together Group  
  • Mary & Martha Circle  
  • Stitchin’ Sisters 
  • Tack & Pack, Snack & Yak
  • Peace by Piece
  • Stitch n’ Give

There’s probably a great story behind your group’s name. If your group doesn’t have a name, consider it. It’s a fun way to reflect your group’s collective personality!  

We’d love to hear your group’s name and the story behind it. Share them with us at quiltsandkits@lwr.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
