I had a lot of fun doing this "Hole in the Barn Door" quilt. It was the second top, but the first finished since I moved here a year ago. I named it "Stars in My Barn" because of the wonderful blue fabric I picked.

Thanks hubby for holding it up for me.

I have a tendency to tell my life story on my labels.

that pattern is perfect for that material....

that square is also called "Sherman's March" and a good one for a CW quilt (which I will use it in my quilt I'm making (when I get time ha ha) for my gr-gr-grandfather)

Oops

Forgot to say what a lovely idea that you are so descriptive with your label. As much information about a quilt is always a good idea. :D

Boston1954 09-07-2008 10:02 AM

Thanks so much everyone for all the great comments. It feels so nice to have other people see and appreciate the work I put into my quilts. That is why I make a special effort to notice the work of others. I know everyone likes to feel the warmth of loving comments.

Dear Bostpn 1954, I just LOVE your "history label." I wish that I had done that from the beginning. Actually I did do it on the first one, but never since. Think I'll start with the next one.

GailG 09-08-2008 10:24 AM

Aren't quilters' husbands great ??!!! This good sport is holding up the quilt for the snapshot. He should have given a little "peek" for the camera. Good job, hubby. AND GREAT QUILT. LOVE THE COLORS !!

live2teach 09-08-2008 10:28 AM

Your quilt is amazing! I love the blue and gold! Fantastic!!!

Boston1954 09-08-2008 10:49 AM

Dear GailG,

When I first started quilting, I did not bother putting on labels. Then I remembered something my mother had told me when I was doing cross stitch. She said it will be worth more in years to come if you put on the back who made it and when. Well, I started adding labels to the quilts that I still had access to. The ones I had kept or given to hubby or sister.

There are a few that "got away" unlabeled, but a substantial number of them are "documented". Also, in my computer I have a list of information about the names and what number I gave them, the size AND I have photographed EVERY quilt I have ever made.

I have been told that I am very organized. :D

Anne


GailG 09-08-2008 06:29 PM

Yes, Boston, you really ARE organized. I do put my name and date on quilts I make. Sometimes I write the occasion (graduation, etc). But your journalling is outstanding.

Kyiav10 09-08-2008 06:51 PM

I really like this one. Great job.
