    I (try to) put labels on all the quilts I make, even if they are mine because someday, when I am gone, they will be handed down to family and they will know more about the history of the quilts.

    This is a link to my post a couple years ago showing a quilt I made for my son and his (then) bride-to-be. (Now my wonderful DIL!!) http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...l-t103608.html. The second picture shows the label I create in Word and printed on injet printable fabric by Dritz called Printed Treasures. The picture was one of their engagement pictures. I really like using Printed Treasures even if just putting info on the label without pictures.

    I, also, really like Printed Treasures. I place a muslin piece face to face, same size, sew, turn, press, hand sew on. I like Sandyquilts idea to frame it and sew it to the back before quilting to help prevent theft. I'm presently quilting a prayer lap quilt, and he might be going to a nursing home. So I will adapt so it can't be taken.

    I do mine with Bubble Jet Set. I set up my label in Word or Photoshop. I also add a QR code that, if found, can be scanned and it will take the finder to our blog so they can contact me and it can be returned.
