Label from Grandmother
DGD's college grad quilt goes to the LA tomorrow, and now to designing a label. How do you sign a quilt when you are a grandmother/aunt/etc?????. The following seems so impersonal:
Made with Love

Chelsea _______

Leona ______
but
Made with Love
for
Chelsea _____
by
Babci (what they call me)
reads weird to me. Their baby quilts I just did their initials and date they were born. Now I know that more information should be on our handmade quilts.
Any help suggestions, ideas? Also, a while back I used a member for labels, but cannot find the information, any suggestions?
Thanks for your input

on the labels should have who made it, quilted it and who it was made for the date or just the year it was made.
If it is for people who need to know how to wash the quilt you could add that. I would also inclued some cute design of something of their favorite thing or colors

Where you have (what they call me) put in your full name. I do that for the quilts I make for my 'grands', and have had no complaints yet! It is a way to pass information down to the newer branches of the family tree, to preserve some history.
My sister and I put together some blocks my Mom made some years ago, bordered them and quilted it for my newest grandson.
The quilt label said, "Blocks made by Grammy (Isabel Maiden Married)", where Maiden stands for her maiden last name, and married is her married last name
My son, father to my newest grandson, was in tears when he read it, as his Grammy helped raise him. He was happy that his son will have a connection to his Grammy - his words, not mine. However, I think my son will use it for HIS "blankie".
