I make my own. I put a short history of the quilt on the label, usually including the source of the fabric, the names of people who may have helped in its preparation, the reason for choosing that particular pattern, the name of the long arm quilter (if there is one), the place where the quilt was created and my own name and the date. I write it in my own hand on muslin using a pen with indelible ink.

Some of my quilting buddies think that's too much, but if my quilts survive me by 50 or 100 years, the person who has them may want to know from whence they came.
