That picture of Sarah Grace's label is after being washed twice. You need to make sure that you 'set' the fabric paint. I usually paint it and let it cure overnight and then I press it on the reverse side with a hot iron. I have done this for years and the paint doesn't seem to fade. In July I saw three quilts that I had made 8+ years ago and all of the labels where as crisp and clean as when I made them. HTH
