I usually hand stitch my labels on the lower right corner. They're generally 4 inches high and 5-6 inches wide. I hand print the info using a fine, permanent marker. I always include quilt title, my name, year, size (width x height). Anything else that I think is important to remember (occasion, name of recipient, name of anyone else who added to the quilt) I include on the label. I usually write the info then trim the fabric and press the folded edges. Learned the hard way that cutting first may mean starting over!

I'm left handed and I usually place mine on the back in the left lower corner :)
|
Size is determined by where I can work it in on quilt. Recipient, my name and year is all that I put on them.

Usually I put it on the back in the lower right corner

I don't use a label.I make a small fabric envelope and I always put a little note in the envelope with what I want to say to that special person that I give my quilts to.I make the envelope using the same fabric that is in the quilt top.I sew it to a corner.Then I make a pillow case to put it in when I give it as a gift.

I just bought a new quilt label program for my embroidery unit. It is from 'Anita Goodesign'. Now I can embroider the labels before attaching.

We have a new young woman in our Q club. She brought in a beautiful quilt she had made and we quilted it. After it was off the frame she told us there was a hole in the back, nothing we had done. We told her that is where the tag goes. Lucky it was the bottom right corner.

Lately I make sure that I cut off the entire selvege about 1" wide. Then I write what ever important info near the woven edge, sew the raw edge along the bottom back of the quilt, apply binding and hand stitch down the woven edge of the selvege. My other label is heart shaped and I tuck the pointy end of the heart into the the corner before binding. Sometimes I just write on the heart and other times I richly hand embroider after it is sewn in place.

I think a lot of people put them on the lower right, but I am a bit of a rebel (AND left-handed) I put them on the other side. :lol: |
