Could it be that the worst would be to add her name on my label??? I dont want to share the credit!
Most of the receivers dont have an idea anyway what kind of work went into that quilt and might end up thinking that I just donated the fabric.
How do you feel about it? If I come up with the idea of a long arm quilting machine my DH might file for divorce :lol:

When I do labels, I always say "pieced and quilted by..." You can say "pieced by...; quilted by..." I help with our historical society's quilt documentation project, and 100 years from now, it's valuable information to have on just who pieced a quilt and who quilted it. If you don't want to share credit, don't have someone else do it.
