I didn't use to label my quilts, but when an aunt died and quilts that were discovered in her barn and I was given one that was a hand embroidered quilt it had a date of 1896 on it and a last name. I have tried to research it but have been unable to trace it back to a relative. I use the method of printing the information on cloth ironed onto heavy freezer sheets that go through the printer and then hand sew the label after it is quilted.
