MsSage,

I have only put lables on two of my quilts. In both cases, I went online and found a suitable image/picture related to the quilt or person it was for. I put that into a Word file, then used the font/size I like and typed what I wanted to say beside it. I printed it out on paper a few times to make sure I had everything the way I wanted it. Then, I taped an appropriately sized piece of plain fabric onto a piece of paper and ran it thru the printer to be printed. I cut the final piece of fabric to the correct size/shape, then made a tiny binding and sewed it around it. Then I sewed it onto the quilt by hand. I left out that I pressed it with a hot iron a couple of times to set the ink. It worked well for me. Hope this helps.
