Quilt Label
#21
If you can copy this link and paste it to your browser, there is a youtube demo on how to make them. I hope it works!

I print mine on a piece of the fabric or something coordinating with the quilt, which is plain enough to read the wording. I use my ink jet printer. Some time ago, I bought some laminating sheets. These sheets are on a plain backing and are sticky on one side. I peel off the plain backing a put my fabric (cut to 8 1/2 x 11) on the sticky side and it goes through my printer very nicely. I can then remove the fabric, cut it to size and applique it onto the back of the quilt.

I design and print mine on freezer backed cloth from C. Jenkins Co. and then applique to the back.
I usually make 2 labels, the other is my name, dates and location.
I found Printed Treasures hard to needle
http://www.cjenkinscompany.com sells a new product that's soft, almost like Lawn cotton.
Click Miracle fabric sheets on the left side and scroll down. I buy the slightly irregular 20 for $12.95 (on sale right now, usually $16.95)
You can order regular sheets if you prefer for more $.

Just the top, bottom and sides of the middle part gets sewn on to the quilt so it always opens like a little envelope.

But I am waiting on an embroidery machine to be delivered (ordered it today!) so may try that next time!

There are so many options with these. You can make them as large or small as you'd like, add a pocket, add flaps to the sides with pockets, edge with ruffles, lace, tassles, close with ribbons or lace tied in a bow, use fancy buttons, snaps, velcro, plenty of room to write or do artwork, add baby handprints or footprints if you run the fab through the printer like most do with their labels, and you don't have to mess around trying to hide the label for shows.
The sky is the limit!
