This is what I do. (the fabric ironed on to freezer paper) But with HP the inks aren't permanent, so I go over them with permanent pens, and teuseneco (that probably isn't spelled right!) pigment inks. Then I press, and go.

I have done that too, it actually works quite well.

I have two books on quilt labels. One is "Iron on Transfers" for quilt labels by Barbara Baatz that you can color in with permanenent color pens or embroidery. The other is "Foundation Pieced Quilt Labels" by Linda Causee. Havn't tried doing either yet but someday!

I have had some embroidered for me but that was pricey. It was over $10.00 for each of them.
I make iron on tranfers with a program for doing them that I bought at an office store. Then I sew the label on. I have some small ones that I bought online with just "made with love by and my name", they were very inexpensive and I put one of those on to in case the tranfer one fades with washing.

You can buy them by yardage, cut them, and then write on them with a pigma pen, and it won't wash out. here is one link where you can see them.

I make mine on my computer and print them onto fabric sheets that run through my printer. I iron under a small edge and then use a blanket stitch to sew them to a piece of fabric that matches the quilt. Then I sew that to the quilt with a blind stitch. Works great. I'm learning to machine embroidery right now, and I'd like to give that a try.
