I do the Bonnie Hunter way. I sew in a triangle in the corner, edges under the binding. I add who, what, when, and where with a permanent pen. I don't care for embroidery labels on my quilts.

I don't label either. I don't consider my quilts "heirlooms" and doubt any of them will survive the "love" they get.

for me, it's not about the quilt being an heirloom, but more like signing a card or a love letter. just another personal touch.

b4 I got my emb machine, I would doit in hand emb or counted x-stitch.
Now I try to put a pic of the name of the quilt. on my Under the sea, I put
a cute little crab. on a baseball quilt for my dh, I put a ball player.

I use something plain like muslin ironed to freezer paper, write with Pigma pen: name of quilt/pattern, made for ___, Lori ___, ______ Wisconsin, March 2014. Sometimes I have a quote or a wish to add also. Then take off freezer paper, turn under edges and starch, glue stick onto quilt, hand stitch down.

I embroider my label right on the backing

If you have EQ, you can make wonderful labels and print them on fabric. (I used Printed Treasures fabric in the inkjet printer.) I recently bought EQStitch to add on to my EQ7, with the intention of creating labels that I can stitch out on my embroidery unit. (But I haven't gotten around to it... yet.)

This is the way I make the labels.

i had never read a blog in spanish. that was fun!
and i realized why i didn't know how to translate "quilt" to my spanish speaking grandmother lol

I just learned how to use Microsoft Publisher to make labels with borders on my computer. Then I printed them on to Printed Treasures Inkjet sheets. They turned out great. I hand stitched them on to the back corner of the quilts.
