Labeling Your Quilts |

I like to sew a lot. I wanted to make my friend's first baby a special quilt. I made the flock of geese pattern. The quilt was unique and I had a lot of fun with it. But what is more special is when you all decide to make a quilt for someone don't forget to make a label saying "This quilt was made with love for:___". Then add a second line with the name of the quilt and the date. This is the tip. I realize that a lot of quilts I've seen didn't have a label. Check this quilt out my friends.

RE: Labeling Your Quilts
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.
RE: Labeling Your 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...
RE: Labeling Your Quilts
How beautuful! Your friend is so blessed to have someone as talented and special as you as her friend.

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
