I am at a loss for what to put on a generic label for a baby quilt. The quilt is for a coworker I've never met who works 800 miles away. I feel badly that she's all alone there because if she were in our office, we'd have a baby shower. So I made a quilt and would like to put a label on it, but I'm not sure what to put on the label. It's a girl, but no name decided yet. I wanted to give it to her before the baby is born.

Ever do a generic label? I'd love some input!

I would put my name, State and County, Date completed.

Created by _______ , 2011. Made with much love (or something like that)?

Although, if you wait til the baby is born, you could personalize the quilt with the baby's full name, date, weight, length.

Personally, I don't like giving gifts before babies are born ... there's always the chance that something will go wrong. I totally hesitate in the pre-birth gifting.

Here's a few I found.


Baby Quilting Quotes
•A package of joy, a bundle of bliss/ This quilt for baby was sealed with a kiss
•Blessed are the children, for they shall inherit the quilts!
•Ten little fingers/ Ten little toes/ The sweetest of smiles/ And a cute little nose/ All these add up/ To a wonderful thing--/ A baby--/ The greatest gift/ Life can bring.

I saw one today on the board that said:
Made with love for you by(your name)

It's so nice of you to make that woman so happy!!

and include a pen so she can fill in the name after the baby is born.

Just a thought.

I really like that last one!

That's a good idea.

I really like this.

Maybe other coworkers would like to 'gift' her with some store coupons. Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc ... or even restaurant coupons for when the baby is a bit older. These wouldn't add much weight to the package and would be like a long distance shower.
