At our guild meeting last night the subject was labeling your quilts. Obviously, if this quilt had had a good label, the owner could quickly be found. So far I have only put labels on the quilts that I gave away. It's time to start with all the others.

I had not heard of microchipping a chip. It would certainly be a good method of proving ownership. I think the problem would be that the finder might not even think to check for that - or know how to (I don't).

Most quilts that I give away, I embroider my initials in the corner of it if it doesn't have a label

the micro chip idea was great - so I did a search and found this....

surprisingly not very expensive, if you have a very special quilt to protect

The only way I can think of to check for a microchip in a quilt is to take it down to my vet's office and use their chip scanner!
