I totally agree. Labels are fantastic and great communication.

I spent the weekend with my son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter and we talked about the quilts I gave them and the quilts her mother gave them. They didn't know who gave them which ones. Neither of us labeled them. I need to make up some labels with fusible backing and go visit them and iron them onto the back of my quilts and then hand sew them in place. I never even thought about labels. Now I understand the importance of them.

I've read some tutorials on the spoonflower labels. I think that's a neat option.
|
I just write with Pigma Micron Pens on plain muslin, then blind stitch to the back of the quilt. Sometimes I write right on the quilt back if it is light colored.

Labels are important. When I first started quilting I did a queen size and sent it to a quilter to do the quilting. When my son & his wife divorced, they didn't remember my making it and giving it to them - it had no label - (shows how important it was to them, I guess.) I'm sure it got stuck in a cupboard and forgotten after I gave it to them. Anyway, in the course of splitting up, I have a feeling it went to the thrift shop as it's not been seen at my son's and when I asked about it, a glazed look came over him and that told me he didn't know I had made it cause I've made others for him and he lovingly displays them and comments on them.

Thank you for all the great ideas. How do I see the labels that Sewnsewer2 makes? Does she have an online shop, like Etsy or Ebay?
thanks again for all your wonderful ideas. Pati |
Now that I have a Bernina 440 with embroidery, I embroider my labels, including a small motif to coordinate with the quilt theme. Before that, I printed them on my computer on fabric sheets that have paper backing. I don't have any specific label program - I just used Word and incorporated pictures, ect. along with my information. I label all my quilts except small things like table runners.

Ditto and the labels she made for me were just beautiful and reasonably priced!

It varies. My favorite way is to make a small block that matches something in the top. My Bernina embroiders basic block alphabet letters so sometimes I use that, other times I hand embroider or write using a permanent pen like micron pigma or sharpie.
I also have some fabric labels, they were sold like panels only they were labels and would do the same. I then applique it on the back. |
