    You can purchase labels in a pre-printed panel at fabric stores or your favorite LQS. They usually have at least 10-12 on each panel and have room for additional information to be added to customize to the person you are gifting. I am sure they are also online at fabric websites but I have never looked for them in that manner.

    I have bought them in the past , but now that I have an embroidery machine I make mine. Last week my youngest grand daughter, told me she misses the little made by grandma tags. Not sure if that's saying I've gone over board with the tags I make or the little tags are what she remembers most...

    I make my own with the EQ printables. I prefer the peel off plastic backing to the Printed Treasures paper backing.

    I have also used the preprinted ones, but I actually used those for a memory quilt vs as a true label.

    I usually put labels on special quilts, and the others I embroider just the date and my name on the binding in the b ack

    I make my own with a fabric that I had originally bought to be backing. They are 6 x 9 inches. I need lots of room to write all that I want to convey. I know they are not fancy, but I only need to put the information on them.

    That's what I do too.
