I always write something personal from me to them.....I do it using a sharpie on muslin and border it with the fabric that I used in the quilt. Everyone loves that I write it out myself. My DH asked me if I did it on the computer and I said "no, I did it by hand" ....it looked that good! I was pleased. I also heat set the writing. I put a piece of muslin on the back, sew around it and turn it right side out and hand stitch it on the quilt.
