Is it a pattern or came out of your head. If yes it can be original design or creation by michael.
Or original design lovingly created for the unit ed d way by michael

Every quilt is "hand made" if you think of it. Just say,
Made by and your name. If it is an original design, mention that and if you used a pattern from someone's book, give that person the credit by adding:

"A --------design"

This was a Tube quilting design. So I can say "A Missouri Star Quilt Company Design" because that's where I saw it. :)
So does this look ok? Or too wordy?

Quilt: Simple Scraps
Size: Lap Quilt
Desc: A quilt created by scraps from previous projects. All fabric is quilt shop quality. Pieced with Aurifil 50 wt, and quilted with Superior brand quilting thread.

Pieced and Quilted by Michael Holmes.

Hand Made by machine?? It's sounds funny. How do you say the quilt was hand made, without making people think it was hand pieced and hand quilted? Both were done by machine.

As always, thanks for helping me out...:)

What about "custom made"? Which it is!

I like "created", even better than my suggestion of custom made.

I didn't know that the design idea orginated with the MSQC, did it? The method, maybe, but think the actual design idea is much older than that. To be honest, if it was me, I'd leave that part off of the quilt itself. For the label, I think the:

Pieced and Quilted by Michael Holmes.

with the year and location added to it.

Maybe tuck the rest in with a small sign to be displayed with the quilt. I know you want to give credit where credit is due, but that would be more label than what I'd want, personally. :)

I wanna see the quilt, btw!! ;)

I would just say, machine pieced and quilted by (your name.) No one would care where the fabric came from or the brand of thread.

Good luck

What's wrong with saying "hand made"? Did you use your feet?
Hand pieced=stitched by hand
Hand quilted=quilted by hand
Hand made=made by using your HANDS....

So, "Hand made, machine pieced, machine quilted"
or "Hand made, machine stitching"

cutting, pinning, sewing, sandwiching, quilting - all done by your hands....
