Hi Everyone, here's the next Silly Season Challenge for 2008. I challenge you to create a collective noun for a group of quilters. A group of lions is a PRIDE of lions, and a group of geese is a GAGGLE of geese. I hope you get the idea. Go to my newsletter for a full definition of a collective noun.

So I'll start the ball rolling on this one
My suggestion for a group of quilters is

A PATCH OF QUILTERS

Go for it girls, see how well you can do.
Cheerio for now

whistle This is going to take some thought. My first instinct is to say:

a quiver of quilters

but I may need to think more on the subject.

Happy Thanksgiving, All.

Well I think we are just going to have to start calling ourselves a bunch of Quackles. Hilarious. LOL.

crazy I have put way too much thought into this. When the brain was working too hard I came up with things like 'an assembly of fabric assemblers' or 'a block of blanket builders', but how awful. 'A gather of stitchers' wasn't so bad, but then I heard about a 'brace of dentists', 'a balance of accountants' or 'a stack of librarians' so I decided that my collective noun contribution would be:

'a stitch of quilters'.

We stitch the blocks, then we stitch the quilting, then we come to this forum to get a stitch in the side from laughing. There are some great ideas here.

Both of my sides hurt!!! Yeah me too. Thinking way to hard. Need to try to let it go and see what happens. But then I forget. Can't have anything to do with age. LOL
I don't even know if the ones I put up are right, but it is fun. Okay, how about this one.
