Thanks.
Merry Christmas to all!
I don't label the fabric, but I leave the cash register reciept folded in the fabric. When I use the fabric I write on the reciept what the project was. If I buy specific supplies for a project or something I've run out of and need to replace, I write that info on the reciept. All the reciepts then go in a sheet protector (like for a note book) and I have them handy to sort through when I am figuring how much I paid for supplies when I'm getting a quilt appraised (you have to know the $$ spent and the time used to make the quilt). This is easier to do than trying to remember a year or so later. haha
