love the quilt

Love those monkeys! What a riot!

I have been using a Pigma pen but I like the idea of embroidering the labels better. I think it would last longer although the pens have doing well after being heat set. My machine does simple lettering but the darned thing intimidates me. Maybe I just need to show it who's boss??

The Pen I bought at Walmart is an "Encre Pigment Ink"

Before I became interested in quilting I got into machine embroidrey. I met people who were quilters and that was all it took to get me hooked on quilting. I started making machine embroidery quilt lables for myself and a few friends and would design a label that cordinated with the quilt. would embroidrey the information (date, my name and who it was for and quilt name) on a block of material and sew it on the back of my quilt like a pocket so that any additional detailed infomation could be hand written on a piece of paper and tucked into the label pocket and I used either a piece of velcro or a small snap to keep it safely with the quilt.

HI all,
Guess I am too much. But, I'd make a copy of the monkey as a part of a label ... then have it hoding a little sign with the info desired. You could do an applique for the monkey and then triple stitch the info on the sign ... or use a pigma pen ... or embroider it on.
Creating the labels can be soooo much fun.

What an adorable quilt.
I don't have an embroidery machine so if I do make a lable it is by hand sewing, but I hate how it comes out. Most of my quilts don't have lables.
I would be interested in other's advice though. Good topic.
In fact I have material labels that can go through the printer. The printer lable sounds like a great idea, going to try it on my husband's quilt.

I use a pigma pen.

Your quilt is soooo cute. It made me smile when i saw it. I embroider my labels but I know there are lots of ideas on the Internet to do them in other ways.

Do you sew down the folded edge?
