You did a great job -- it's been on my to do list for awhile now.
I didn't quite do it like they advised on this site, but if I had freezer paper available it would have been easier. As it was, I had to use just some cotton fabric spray basted to a piece of copy paper. I loaded the image into the computer and added text boxes with the writings and choice of fonts and then added decorative borders. I had a blue one around the top, but apparently that ink didn't hold. Just a hint - *only print in black ink and do it best quality on your computer printer. You can also hand write with a pen (I have one of those too, from my local quilting store) but I prefer to print from the computer. I also try and heat set with the iron before washing. The one in the pic is a before pic, the blue didn't survive the wash, but everything else came out fine. Here's the link to some labels -
