I know we all add lables to our work usually stating the date and our name....

However, did you ever think that perhaps adding your picture and maybe the reason for making the quilt would be very special to the receiver?

Imagine that your great, great, great, grandkids inhiert one or more of your beautiful quilts with only a name and date of the maker. A name and a date and nothing else. About as exciting as going to the dentist. (Sorry to any dentists out there...)

I have been adding a picture of myself plus a little information about the reason for making the quilt. Even if it is as simple as "it was raining today and too wet to go out doors so it made this quilt!"

I know it sounds funny or odd or what ever but think of some of the items you have received from your ancestors...probably no information what so ever to give you a short history story of your treasure.

Wouldn't it be fun to share a bit of yourself to the person you cared enough about to put time and effort into making your quilt.

This is just my opinion! Or as they say "food for thought."
