Labeling a quilt?
#11
You should always put a label on your quilts. That is what I was told when I started to quilt. I put the name of the quilt the date usually the year it was quilted and if it is for a person I put quilted for so and so by my name. I then hand sew it on the back after it has been quilted. I have a embroidery machine and do it on that but some use the computer to print a label and some just use a pen and write it out or hand embroider it.

I hand write a label for the back. I have come across some labels and sometimes i've made my own out of fabric. I do try to put as much details as possible - dates, relationships about the quilt. After I'm dead and gone, I want the quilt to be able to tell it's story.

I first sign the quilt itself with a pigma pen. My name, quilted by, my town, and date, just in case the label comes off. Then I make a label. I put who the quilt is for and the occasion. then I put my name, person who quilted it, my town and date. I hand sew the label on.
