I have an embroidery machine and I make the label from the same fabric as I use for the backing. I embroidery the name of the quilt, who it's made for, by My name, the year(s) I made it, and the city & state I live in. I use a contrasting thread or sometimes a thread that is just a couple of shades darker than the fabric. Then I stitch it onto the back of the quilt. If I am making the quilt for a specific occassion I also put that on the label. I've done labels with poems and stories, some are large. Some quilts have more than one label. The quilt I made for my mother came back to me when she passed, I passed it on to my son. I left the labels I put on it for her and added another one for my son. He loved it. I've made a lot of labels, I make them for my friends too.
