I know a quilt instructor in our area who made a gorgeous quilt. The customer removed the label and attached a different label saying she had made the quilt. This instructor now incorporates her labels as part of the back. If it is removed it would make a mess. Kind of sad someone would stoop to such lows, but it happens.

Thank you all for your suggestions and how you do yours. As always.... this group never disappoints.
I have ideas for this quilt and also for ones in the future.
I hope to remember to do the label before I sandwich it next time. (That would make life much easier)
I wanted to put a date on this one and had no idea when I would get in finished.

I make my labels either on the computer with printer fabric or on the embroidery machine. I sew it RST to a piece of lightweight fusible interfacing (consider the fusible side as the wrong side), trim the seams with pinking shears, cut a slit in the interfacing and turn the whole thing right side out and iron it onto the quilt back. Then I whip stitch it in place for added security. This makes it easy to turn the label's raw edges evenly to the underside. I have, on occasion, written my name on the quilt backing itself with a pigma pen under the place where I'm going to put the label just in case it would get removed.

Trying to pass off someone elses work as your own, from plagerism to your example, really frosts my cake (not in a good way). I suspect if some one is willing to do what you described, they would find another way to take credit for work that wasn't their own, or they would not purchase a quilt where they couldn't manipulate the label.
Diane Gaudinsky actually signs her name on her quilts in the quilting itself. I thought that was very clever and may start doing that and put the other pertinant info on the label. That said, I don't think my quilts are quite good enough that someone would want to take credit for them :lol: :lol:
