I hand embrodier on the back side near a bottom corner.
However, I only put my name and the year. This is because I let my children pick which ones they want after they are
done. They are not that interested in the name of the quilt
pattern. I do however keep books with photos and information
on each quilt, name of pattern, where the pattern came from,
size of quilt, when it was made, and any other interesting
particulars. After I give the quilts, I go back to the
notebook and tell who got the quilt. (Can you believe that
I can't remember sometimes who took which quilt, and have
to look it up.) I do also give quilts to my grandchildren.
If it is a baby quilt, I don't embrodier anything. I just
hope they love them enough to 'use them up'.

Thanks gollytwo for the link. I use fabric shhets all the time and hadn't hear of these. Already placed an order to try them!
Oh and I use an HP label program but find it a bit difficult and time consuming to use. Also size limiting. Maybe will try some of the great ideas listed here. Thanks everyone!!!

my latest and they are a hit! ...........for the occasion, if there is an announcement/invitation, etc I make a copy on fabric then apply as the label. I add a line with my name, date, etc. So, for a baby shower-I copy the shower invitation, then add-stitched with love for you and baby by.................., date, etc. They come out GREAT and are always mentioned as a special part of the gift!

I want my signature on all my quilts. Today I only sign birthday cards, Christmas cards, and checks. And lots of people don't even sign those things! In 100 years there will be no handwriting. Some schools aren't even teaching cursive now. I just think that maybe someone inheriting my quilts will get a kick out of seeing human handwriting from 2011.
