I like everything but the description; maybe TMI? It's great that you are supporting United Way.

Okay, gosh you are so cute to be worried...how about Simple Scraps Created by Michael Holmes in 2011
|
I agree with JeannieT. If someone else quilted it I would also put their name on the label!

My suggestion...(by ghostrider)
Title: Simple Scraps Size: XX" x XX" lap quilt Desc: 100% cotton fabric, cotton thread Machine pieced and quilted by Michael Holmes, your city, state August 2011 Design by The Missouri Star Quilt Company That is the basic information that the owner would need to provide to an appraiser so why not make it easy for them. This looks like an excellent choice to me. |
I love Missouri Star Quilts, but I don't think the idea of the tube quilt was original with them. I would leave that out or say something like Based on an idea from MSQ.
I would even leave out the part that says "scraps from previous projects" that lessens the importance of an auction quilt, not to me but to the bidder. |
Maybe handcrafted?

Designed, pieced and quilted by Michael. That's enough. Those that know will know. Those that don't still won't, but at least they'll know it didn't come from the Pottery Barn. ;-) I don't think you need to specify the method. I agree :) |
There are a lot of very good answers here but one thing not mentioned much is the importance of the batting material used and washing instructions for the quilt. The recipiant needs this info. The thread used is not important unless you are entering a contest. I would like to see a post of your quilt.

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...:) Design from Mo.Star Quilt Co. Machine pieced and quilted by Michael Holmes 2011 |
