a mascot?

How about a thunkie/squishie pin for identification at shows, LQS, etc.
Make a pin to look like your favorite chocolate. (Keep the wrapper
from the chocolate, cut a piece of cardboard a size to match the
chocolate. Cover it with the wrapper, glue on a pin backing.) Then pin
this thru a piece of fabric to your lapel. Or use something to
resemble a Kiss, covered in aluminum foil. Or be creative with
polyclay.

Thunkies/squishies are unique to this group (yes?).

If it has to be an animal, some variation of a QI maybe.

How about we stay we with the one we have - the RCTQ Logo has stood us in
good stead up until now. We don't need a new one. A badge would be as easy
to make as printing out the logo on fabric and writing your on line name on
it. We made badges for our local (Q.U.I.L.T. - Quilters United in Learning
Together) and used a tiny version of the Friendship Star. We wore our
quilting pins/tie tacs on them. This logo is already internationally known
and so it is easy to recognize. Ms Say-ruh's banner with that chattering
black bird on it still travels to most quilting shows and acts as a standard
where folks can gather underneath to meet and chatter. It is bright and
easy to see from across a crowded room so works very well. Why change? If
it ain't broke - don't fix it!!

Hey - I understand the imagery! And I laugh about it along
with the rest. But many of us live in parts of the world
where pirates and 'gators are not exactly everyday relevant.

I may never get to meet any of you, let alone get to a show
meet-up. But I would still love to have a badge with an
authentic rctq mascot. So if we are gonna get a mascot,
could it be something a little more global?

This is a fun pin that I was given by some of my "students".
Couldn't one of our artistic members draw us a little
cartoon character mascot - something we could all wear all
over the world? I love the 'gator imagery within rctq, but
if I went to a local guild meeting wearing such a name tag
everyone would stay 10' from me, thinking I was getting set
to rip someone apart in a fit of bad temper!

Actually no - thunkies and squishies are pretty universal. I heard about
them from our quilt - counted XS and embroidery guilds long before I knew
of RCTQ - I've been here since about 1995, I think. First I heard of them
was maybe 1987.

I was squished with chocolate fabric in with a thunkie, so I'm well
prepared for this one!

All the RCTQ messages are text only. (Which
is why we are asked to NOT use HTML.)
The Logo is on a web site someplace. (Big
help, eh?)
