Thread: Question about quilt id tags

I am familiar with doing the freezer paper and inkjet printer... I have a small business of printing/cutting personalized church prayer cloths. But they are something that isn't washed... the quilts will be and I wanted to make sure had something on them that the printing didn't wash out.

Thanks! I wanted to do this Christmas project last year... but just didn't get started in time. I started the first week of Jan. cutting the pieces...I had all cut and sewn by Oct. 1 and I have all of them clipped except for one. I had a "ton" of flannel quilt pieces (my sister used to run a sewing factory and brought us scraps). I wanted to be sure my grand kids had a quilt from me... and had enough pieces... just kept making and adults got one too.

I like to put labels on my quilts, but I don't have a way to do that by myself. You have gotten some good ideas. I have done 2 different things. I ordered some small satin labels from Jennifer's Jewels http://jjlabels.com The are about 1.5" x 2" with a little picture and my name. Then I mark the date on them. The price was pretty good and the labels are nice. There is a lady here on the board who makes very nice labels. I have gotten 9 or 10 from her and I am very happy with them. Her id is sewnsewer2.

(be sure to take lots of pictures when they open their presents)

So, did you just use a pen like a Sharpie?? or what?
