Beautiful! Those colors blend together so nicely. I'm sorry about your husband. It sounds like he was so encouraging of your quilting. But I'm sure he can see it from where he is.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can understand that this would be hard for you. That being said, I'm so glad you finished it! It's absolutely beautiful. (If Shelby doesn't like it, I'll take it!)

How difficult it must be to be without your husband. It sounds like you had a wonderful marriage. May you be comforted in your time of grieving by those around who love you.

Your quilt is soft, soothing and will be such a wonderful wedding gift.

The mark of a true quilter - that you have so much of your own heart in your work. It's a blessing beyond measure when another shares what you love. Be blessed by your precious memories and be assured that yours will be a cherished gift. Love everything about it. You are a true artist.

WandaVA, I make my labels using Microsoft Publisher. The borders for this label were in clip art. I just kept adding the amount of the clip art needed to get the length & height. I rotated three sides so that I got the border to lay correctly. Then I inserted a text box, selected my font, and wrote what I wanted to say. I then printed it on fabric for my ink jet printer. Heat set the design and added the printed fabric border. Then just top stitched the label to the quilt. I have also made labels inserting a photo of the fabric used in the quilt. Hope this has been helpful.
