Memories to Heirlooms

Remember When. . . I named the business?

How hard can it be to name a company? Well, after hours of searching the Internet, reading books, articles, talking to friends, sharing on Facebook, I came up with more than 100 names. Some top runners were:
Sew Sentimental – taken
Stitch’n stories – too folksy
Son of Stitch – really funny, not the right feel and surprisingly… taken
Namaste – It means, "The light and spirit in me honors the light and spirit in you." This is how I feel about my work but the name was not culturally appropriate and requires explanation.

​After weeks of work my sister said, How about “Remember When?” Love it! This is how our family stories start and perfect since my work helps people tell their own story. My house is full of story starters: grandma's piano, the framed note card of my father’s analysis of sugar cookie recipes, and of course one of my first bears made from special fabrics from Grandpa  &  Grandma Moeschlin and Mom and Dad. I love living with them and they enviably generate questions when people visit. This is particularly important to me because I remember when I was little and I asked mom about heaven. She said she felt an important part of heaven is when people are remembered and we share their stories. I love that.
 
 Around this time I renamed my “sewing room” my “studio” and then added that to the name of the business to make it clear that I see my work as functional art. It was a lot of work but I love the name – “Remember When Studio.”
