grannyju Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I like Silver Sage Quilting too. I agree you should drop the custom part. If I had a quilt that needed just a meander I wouldn't even call a custom quilt shop. It just sounds like it would be so much more expensive.

Kueser Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 If you're thinking about making your business a LLC anytime in the future, you might want to check with your state to ensure no one has already used your choice in names. I took a generic business name with only my initials only to find out there was another company in another state using the same name. Now I'm identified as 'from Kansas" when I place orders.

BethDurand Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 What is the winning name? Totally NQR, but I said I'd ask. If anyone needs Cutco knives, I was given the sales pitch today. If you're interested, contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I like High Desert CQ or Running Horse CQ. From someone waving over the hills from the valley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoryJM Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm partial to Lucky Horse Quilting...please note the Quilting w/o the Custom. My reasoning is that you might actually keep people away if you say "custom." They may think that that is all you'll do. No edge-to-edge, no pantos, only expensive custom. Just my 2 cents!!

lindasewsit Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Running Horse Quilting.... (I'd keep the "custom" out of it too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharni Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Silver Sage and Painted Pony are neck and neck. I think I should use Silver Sage because as one responder said, if the name of the business is too "western" potential clients may think it is just western type quilts and motifs. I want to have as broad an appeal as possible. I agree that I should drop the custom quilting part of the name and have just quilting. I have thought about using Painted Pony as a quilted gift line since I plan do do some of that. We have so many farmer's markets and festivals during the tourist season that want "cowboy, western" type things. So Silver Sage Quilting is the name that won. Now to check on LLC. Thank you all for your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Sharon, Congrats on your new business, Silver Sage Quilting. I like that. I also love your idea of different gift lines based on some of your other ideas. Good luck. Let us know how it is going for you. From what I understand longarm quilting does very well on the west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeri Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I like both but I would leave the custom off. From experience. I put on my first business cards something about custom quilting just for you. Everyoine thought I just did custom. That's kinda still stuck 8 years later. I'm trying to get out of that since I'm in the process of re-inventing my business with APQS sales, thread sales, stencils coming soon along with boosting my quilting in a different area of the metro. Most of my samples for thread are going to be overall free hand or pantos. Course for stencils etc that wouldn't fit. I do love doing custom --one on my machine right now but putting that word in can limit you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
