I like to use Printed Treasures for my labels. It runs right through my printer. I use MS Word and put some clip art on the page along with my name, city and year created. It I know I'm making something special I will also put that note on there. I usually fit 4 labels on a page. Once you print it out, let it set for about an hour. Peel off the paper backing and run it under cold water to rinse away any residue ink. Let it dry and iron it. Then I trim it and add a 1" border of the backing fabric around all 4 sides. Put this piece right sides together with another piece of backing fabric and stitch around all 4 sides. After trimming the seam allowance, make a small slit in the back side of your piece to turn right sides out. I baste the slit closed and hand stitch my label on the lower back corner of my quilt.
