If you dont sign your quilts.....and were to become famous one day.....the ones who bought your quilts sure would be disappointed/

Just like if someone give you a painting....and then became famous....your painting would be worth less because it wasnt signed

LOL this is just food for thought,,

I put my name and date made on them. If it's for a special occasion I'll include that if asked.

Good Point!

If I know the buyer I ask if they want my name on the quilt. If I am selling at a show or like I did in the past, at a local cafe, I prepared lables with printable fabric (the one with the glue on the back) with my name and year and iron them to the back of the wallhanging. If they don't want it they can peel it off. I always pin to the back of the quilt my bussiness card in case the buyer is interested on another one. I have had some calls from people keeping the card.

I do. I hand sew the label. If they don't want it on there they can remove it.

Besides, how many of use have old quilts that AREN'T signed and wish they were?

The few that I've sold have been to people that I know and I've always put a tag on with my name and date very small in the corner and then I ask the buyer if they would like me to write a message or the recipients name on the tag. I've asked them to write it theirselves, but they decline thinking they will mess it up.

When I first started quilting I wanted to keep a count of the quilts I had made. I started signing and numbering my quilts. When I started selling, that helped with my inventory records. I sign them with my full first and last name, town and state, and then the quilt number.

Well, I'm buying Barnbum's Watercolor Floral Log Cabin Quilt, and I asked her to make a label for me.

I don't know if I would "sign it" literally, but I would probably make a small discrete label that said my name and the year, and hand-sew it on, rather than fuse it or anything. That way whoever bought the quilt could remove it if they wanted to, or use it to refer other buyers to me!!
