I make a label to sew onto the back. On it I put the name of the quilt, the date, who it is made for, my name, and in the case of my children and grandchildren, I embroidery a Bible verse. My thinking was that when they are going through a hard time, they will curl up in that quilt and see that verse and know they are loved.

It was a 50th anniversary gift so I found a little heart button and just sewed in over the snipe and on one was wiser. I thought it quite appropriate for that occasion and since my B-day in 2/14, the heart button has become my logo.
And lately, it is not so easy finding tiny heart buttons without the shaft on them.....I use the flat ones with the two holes......
i got a whole pkg of heart shaped buttons, different sizes but all under an inch a couple years ago frm newark dressmakers supply
they were all flat and none bigger than 1-1 1/4
that should hold you for a while!
and that's how my logo came to be.

I love the spiral idea! That's great. I always put a label on with the date and write a message of love to the recipient, and, of course, if I have it professionally quilted I mention Roni, the professional who does the long-arm quilting. I also add a little woven labels I had made that says made with love for you by Mary Ellen Klugh
