Ohhh and just to clarify, this is for the silent auction card so people know what they are bidding on.

Not the actual label that is on the quilt.....I never label my quilts....(I know I'm bad and that I should...I just haven't yet)

Simple Scraps

Hand made ( or Created by or Home made) by Michael Holmes

optional date in smaller numbers and maybe washing and drying instructions


Hand made does not equal hand pieced and hand quilted to me. If I pieced and quilted a quilt by hand I would state so hand pieced and hand quilted. Hand made-To me it means you sat behind sewing machine and made it. It was not some big machine in a factory.

I can't wait to see it.

Pieced and quilted by__________
in 2011

This is what I do. I let them figure out if its by hand or machine. its not hard to tell, and most who collect quilts or buy them easily figure it out.

Fine for the card. For the label your name and date are sufficient.

Custom made usually means made according to a specific size, color and style, just for one person and one of a kind.
Michael, your idea is perfect and gives all the information needed for someone interested in purchasing your quilt.
Answers all the questions about contents, designer and who made it and who is donating the quilt.
Go for it, you are on the right track.

"Machine Pieced and quilted"

I'm with Anna. What's wrong with using hand made? It is an apt description.

Thanks for the great ideas! I am going to do the same thing for United Way and wondered about this alos.

since this is a silent auction to raise money i'd leave off the fact that its scraps of fabric leftover from other projects.

it might lead people to bid less thinking its leftovers from the real project.

try to make your label read in a way that people want to bid more money.

I always say machine pieced and quilted also...
