Friday Night with Friends! After spending some time on the computer, I got a late start to FNWF, and an even later finish, but I did complete a name tag for my local quilt guild,
Quilters Unlimited. It's been on my To Do list since I joined the guild last June, and saw the other ladies with their block name tags.

| Block pattern for name tag. |
The block pattern is for a 4" finished tag. I drew the design in
Electric Quilt to audition my own fabric with it. I decided on the following fabrics:
Here is the
EQ rotary cutting instruction for this block showing my fabric.

I cut the pieces and then assembled...
 |
| Rows Assembled |
 |
| Block together. |
I decided to add a small border and embroider my info on it:
 |
| Embroidered and border added. |
I sandwiched some batting and backing fabric, plus a neck strap and stitched and turned it, pillow-case style. Used the walking foot to stitch in the ditch.

| Finished tag. |

| Butterfly fabric is on the back. |
I'll be checking out the others who stitched last night too. Love to see other's projects.
Happy Stitching!
Well done, I love the fabrics used.
