I am making a quilt to donate to my job. It is for a fundraiser for the family of one of our salesmen who passed away. He was a wonderful man. I am not sure what to put on the label. I thought: IN MEMORY OF ....... Made by......Quilted by....
then the date.
any ideas?
Thank you

I would replace the word memory , and instead say "to honor life" you may not want to but the person who passed name on it. Unless it goes to someone who had a deep attachement to this person ... it might be a bit .... strange. I know I would not want a memorial quilt from someone who was not a family member or very close friend.

I would have to agree, depending on who you are raffling it to, you may not want to put the “In memory” part. If the raffle is really only for people that knew him well, then I think it’s a great idea. If it is going to be open to the public as well (which will probably raise more money), then I would just put your name and the quilter’s name. I would buy a quilt like that to help out the family of the deceased, but I would be buying it as something useful for my home and wouldn’t necessarily want it to memorialize someone I don’t know.
Good luck!

I would leave off "in memory of" in the label too. It is a raffle quilt, and may not be appreciated by the recipient. Instead, maybe attach a note card that states "In Memory of" that can be kept if the recipient knew the gentleman. JMHO
