The only info I put down on a charity quilt label is a small label containing care instructions. I make them to be machine wash warm and tumble dried -- someone once suggested to me that people automatically think that if something is handmade that it is delicate for one reason or other.

I put on the label who it is being made for (ie usually Project Linus), when it was made, state I live in & then sign it as "gramajo". For some reason, I'm uncomfortable using my full name on a donated quilt.

The guilds that I belong to provide labels with the guild name and sometimes the date. We don't always know where a quilt is going, so that isn't included, but I think it's a lovely idea if you know that the quilt was made for a specific organization.

I print mine out and I usually put my motto "A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel" and I prayed for you as I made this quilt. I don't put my name. I think I will add care instructions too...that was a good idea.

I had some labels made up which say "Made just for you by Annie and my e-mail address". Our Project Linus puts on their own labels.
I added my e-mail address because sometimes a parent or the receiver wants to thank the maker personally for the quilt.

The group I work with give our quilts to several different needy groups so we just sign all our quilts with our group's name and the year........we sign it on the back with a permapen......then we wash the quilt so that it is free of any animal hairs or chemicals when we give it.......nothing personal is on the quilt except the love it was sewn with....
