I’m buried in laundry, but I keep forgetting to share my front range modern quilt guild name badge! I was in the mood for some free motion stitching one night, and I’ve been in love with this idea since seeing it in Scandinavian Stitches, so I whipped this puppy up! (The V.P. stands for Vice President. Yup. I’m a vice president of a quilting guild. Which everyone who knew me as a teen TOTALLY saw coming.) 😛 I wanted to write ‘edna elizabeth’ on the machine but decided that since name tags are really for people that DON’T know me, throwing two extra names on there would defeat the whole purpose of the exercise. (Nic also pointed out that Edna is black, not white, but if I was going to do that, I would have needed yellow thread for the outline and name and I don’t have yellow.)

Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .
I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!
I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

MichelleW - Such a cool name badge!
Little Bluebell (Adrianne) - Traci! That’s the best name tag ever!!! I keep reminding how small it is as I look at all the details. You are such a talented free motion stitcher. I remember your cat in the hat and your reindeer. ALL wonderful!
Rissa - That is so cute! I love how you just “whipped it up” when I’m sure it would take many people (or at least me!!) forever to do anything vaguely like that, hehe! I love it!
Dolores - Love it!! You are very clever!! 🙂
