"Machine pieced and quilted by Michael Holmes",plus date would be sufficient, I think. Although, I must confess that I usually reveal the thread and materials used so that the buyer is aware of the quality.

I usually label mine something to the effect
machine pieced and machine quiilted by My Name
or made by My Name
machine pieced and quilted
machine pieced and machine quiilted by My Name
or made by My Name
machine pieced and quilted

Hand Made by machine?? It's sounds funny. How do you say the quilt was hand made, without making people think it was hand pieced and hand quilted? Both were done by machine.
As always, thanks for helping me out...:)

try to make your label read in a way that people want to bid more money.

My suggestion...
Title: Simple Scraps
Size: XX" x XX" lap quilt
Desc: 100% cotton fabric, cotton thread
Machine pieced and quilted by Michael Holmes, your city, state
August 2011
Design by The Missouri Star Quilt Company
That is the basic information that the owner would need to provide to an appraiser so why not make it easy for them. ;)
