I use a piece of muslin, whatever size I need to write all I want to write on the label--quite a bit of history about each quilt--and put a two and one half inch border of some of the fabric in the quilt top around it. I use a permanent marker--Pigma is probably the most durable--and in my own hand I write the information. I think having the label written by the maker gives the quilt a kind of life that you can't get with machine embroidery or printed labels. Having my mother's recipes written in ink by her is important to me and I think having quilt labels written by me will be important to the owners of the quilts after I am dust or ashes. forggyintexas
