My mother in law's quilts have her name embroidered and the the dates she makes it like if she starts it in 1976 and finishes in 1978 thats what she puts on it and her name . I think that is nice touch and I love my quilts.

This is a beautiful quilt! When I make labels for my quilts, I embroider the information on a small square of plain colored material that matches the quilt. I then sew this label onto one of the corners of the quilt.

I'm a cross stitcher. I label my projects by stitching in my name and date by a cross stitch or embroidery. Especially the year! Sometimes I add the month I finished it. I usually pick a corner.

You are sooooooo talented! Gorgeous quilt!
How about including embroidered washing instructions?
There are people out there who, to this day, wash everything in hot and on the hottest setting on the dryer and wonder why the clothing shrinks, becomes bleached out...

What a beautiful quilt. Wish I had the patience to tackle a project like this. It must have taken you months.

There are a variety of ways to make the label. It can be as simple as a permanent pen writing on a square of fabric which is then attached to the back.
I like making the label as a small pocket on the back and inserting info about the quilt -- fabric content, washing instructions, personal note, etc.

RE: Labeling Your Quilts
Maria, I think this is a wonderful tip but I want to know how you make the label. What material is used? How do you make the lettering? How do you attach it to the quilt? Is it permanent? Maybe this is a no brainer for a quilter but I have no clue how you go about doing this. Thanks, Stella
