I don't label any of my quilts. I don't have children so there is no one who will remember me 10 years after I'm gone. That statement is not made out of bitterness, but just a fact of life. There will be no grandchildren or great-grandchildren who have any curiosity about me. I make quilts for my multitude of nieces and nephews and maybe some of those will be handed down. If so, they will be valued because of who handed it down, not who made it. It's actually a little liberating knowing that I'm not leaving any kind of legacy. I don't print out or label photos because no one will ever look at them, but me. I don't label quilts or keep any records of them. I don't have to keep any memories alive, or any traditions for the next generation because I won't have any. Again, this is not bitterness, it's just not a necessity in my life.
