Thanks for the reminder. This is something I often fail to do.

Wow! What a treasure to be sure :)

What a wonderful treasure to find and share with your family. You're right, we should label our quilts. I figured I'd remember, but it's like writing down milestones in your children's lives, you can't remember everything. It's easy to forget, thanks for the reminder.

Beautiful quilts. I don't label mine.

Sometimes what the quilt is for ... b'day, welcome to the family, etc. Some people will put the name of the quilt pattern / block used and name of the designer if it applies. I think about doing it when it comes to making my label I forget that part.

A label could / should be like a story, it will have more meaning and if the quilt lasts a long time, it might end up in a museum.

How on earth does one fit all that information on a label? I don't have the money or equipment to make fancy labels like that, and I don't find writing on fabric with those fabric pens very easy nor very clear and neat.
