I went to your site and lost myself for about a half hour!! Way too much good stuff there, taking too much of my time!! :thumbup: I don't have a phone that will do that, but that is brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!!

Hi Carol! I completely agree with you. However, I normally put my labels on my backing BEFORE I quilt them, so the label becomes a permanent part of the quilt. The quilting would have to be torn out of the quilt to get the label off, and it's difficult to re-quilt a quilt exactly as it was before. I don't mind that the label has flowers quilted on it - I know the label is quilted down and can't be easily removed.

A good idea--I hadn't thought about doing it before the quilting. Thanks for sharing.

Needs to also have a locator chip sewn into it. Like the kind placed on animals. Maybe that would help too?

OOOps missed a prior post on this. Makes sense if you are sending to a quilt show, With all the technology out there, I'm sure someone could come up with what we need and add in an app to do it. Maybe some day.
In the meantime I like the sewing of the label into the quilt and the QR.
Thanks

Great idea - I also loved your information about making washing instruction tags. Got you on my favourites now!

Wouldn't this be great at quilt shows on the label so you can match up pictures with quilters, especially after the show?

My thought is that the quilt show venues should invest in the equipment and find a way to put the locator chip on your quilt when they accept it for showing.
The QRcode is a great idea!

This is a great idea. Now if only the quilts that get lost are found by honest people. Take care.

This sound like a really neet idea, but it still dose not deal with theft and I am afraid that that is what happened to Janets' quilt. I also had an idea, why could you not put a chip in the quilt like they put into pets. My son just had his dog done. He said that it was so small that the vet used a needel and the dog did not even fell it. Our guild was even thinking about purchasing one and for a small fee put chips into members quilt.
