Could you explain what the security risks are?

Places like Veteran's Hospitals, any Hospice, convalescent home will not allow a signature. I had one tell me, they just cut them out. They don't want the complication of the donor being harassed, plus the fact, your signature says you would like orders or communication. Keep safe and leave them blanik.

People who receive charity quilts are in the habit of finding the quilter (and it's not as if you're putting contact details on there) and harassing them? Seriously?

(I'm in the middle of making a quilt to be raffled for charity, so I'm pondering whether or not to sign it.)

no, I don't .. I like to be anonymous. thanks for the post.. I think there is no right or wrong.

Same here! I don't attach a label to any of my charity quilts.

a whole lot of ideas here. the quilt fairy I'd like to use. may I? That is a favorite since my quilts are for children. Thanks !
my initials are obscene.. ha ha.. young and dumb after getting married and keeping my maiden name.. someone should have told me !
and, no I don't want anyone googling me to find if I can quilt another one. I do all my stuff at my own pace, slow like the tortoise.

I always sign, date, city, state, etc., with a perm. marker, on the area that the binding covers up. I do this to document the quilt. On other quilts I make and attach a label--I read somewhere that a lot of the older quilts were done this way. Folks back in the "good ole days" were a lot more modest than us folks, :)
