    Default Labels On The Little Stuff

    Placemats, mug rugs, table runners, small wall hangings. I'm thinking about it.
    Do you go to the bother or no?

    I haven't been going to the bother on anything lately. Shame on me.

    Those items are to be used and washed a lot so I don't put labels on them.

    Sometimes if they are a gift, I will put a little label folded in half & sewed in with the binding sticking out. I have some pre-made little labels that say "Made with love by my name". I generally don't label my larger quilts but will always put this little sew on label to the edge of the quilt. I know I should make labels that tell more info but I just don't do that. They are little sew in labels like these:

    sometimes, on the small things, i put my name and date with micron marker if it's a gift. i also have some small foldable labels, but i need to order more of those.

    Nope, I don' sweat the small stuff. My small stuff is usually made from scraps and leftover fabrics. Quilts and Art wall hangings get the labels.

    If I'm giving them away, might write with a micron pen "Made for you with love from --my name--year".
