Okay, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this before, but when I thought of it, I felt like a GENIUS!

I wanted to do a label for the little quilt I just finished for DH's cousin and his new wife, and I wanted it to be neatly done. Usually I freehand labels with a pigma pen and they end up kind of crooked and sloping, etc.

I don't have a lightbox, and I don't have an inkjet printer, so I couldn't trace with the lightbox or just print a label. Oh, and of course it's night, so I can't use my window for a lightbox.

I ironed the fabric onto freezer paper. Then I went into my WP program and wrote up the little blurb I wanted on the label, centered it, found a font I liked, and used my monitor for a lightbox.
