Would some of you be willing to post pictures of your quilt labels that you make?

I make mine on Printed Treasures Iron in fabric sheets. Tried others, this fades the least. Here are a few samples. I choose the graphic to go with the quilt. I have scanned from a book of labels and colored them in the computer.

I hand embroider my labels as it seems a shame not to on a hand quilted quilt. Once you get into the swing of it it really doesn't take that long. I write it in word, print it out & trace it onto the piece of fabric using a water soluble pen:

Also on a side note I thought I'd share this - I hand stitched the wedding date into the lining of the wedding dress for the friend that this wedding quilt was for. It was her 'something blue' & makes the dress truly personal. Also I used the same font for the label, the date & the border quilting (which said dum vivis ama - love as long as you live), as she had used in the invitations & save the date's. Lets say it won me MAJOR friend points!!!
