Please do NOT relabel your quilt. If you want to ADD to the label or add a label signifying the person you are giving it to, then please do so, but don’t lose the information on when it was actually made. As you gift it, just say I made this quilt and when I saw it the other day I thought of you. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it. Then stop talking. If they care about you, it won’t matter to them that you made it 20 years ago.
Thank you e4. The reason we label our quilts is for the history. How many times have you wondered who made an unlabeled quilt. What part of the country did it come from? Etc. etc. Please do not remove old labels. E4's comment was "right on"---including what to say when "gifting" a quilt.
