Quilting Labels on Quilts you Gift.....
#74
There are new pens out especially for putting labels on quilts they are very fine and once you iron over them it doesn't wash off.
I especially like to add a message in the corner of the quilts I make for other people, I have just finished a quilt for a little girl in LA, even though she is only 3 weeks old I will label it "Made with love for Annalise by Carol 2011".

Yes, it is very important to label our quilts. We know we made it and whoever we gave it to knows, but what about 25 or 30 years from now? I have seven family quilts that I treasure: 3 made by my great grandmother, 1 by my MIL, and 3 by my grandmother. The only reason I know who made each is because my parents and husband knew who made it. I don't know when or where they were made. Some of our quilts really will last that long, so it would be nice to add some information so people will know who made it and when.

I have 2 lables ready for the next trip to my son's house. The christmas quilts he recieved will not be complete until the lables are attached. They were embroidered . I still have 2 more lables to stitch and I am caught up. I figure this will be my way to keep track of when and who recieved which quilt in the family. I also save pictures of each quilt.

Please label your quilts. I have a quilt from the Civil War era that was made by one of my great grandmothers. My mom told me which one, but now I'm not sure and my mom is gone. No one else knows these things.
