Since I just finished making two labels this morning, I thought I would post my two cents. Always make a label for a quilt if it only has the name of the quilt, your name and birth date, where you were born, who is getting the quilt (usually leave a line on the label if I don't have an owner in mind), Washing and Drying instructions, (usually mine is Wash: cold/warm and Dry: low/hang). The reason I do this is I have been given quilts from great-grandmothers, grandmothers, aunts on both sides of our family and NONE of them have a label, I have been finding as much info as I can and make a label for each one if only to say: (Smith Grandmother - given to _____ and the date) that way my children or anyone who gets any quilt has some information. I have printed labels on the computer printer - ironed hot; I have taken muslin-used a permanent maker- ironed it; have embrodered it; hand-sewn them on after using a fusible piece to attach them to the quilt. As I use to tell my 4th graders, always put your name on your paper and your stuff!!!!
