Labeling quilts is so important, however you choose to do it. I have an old quilt that is really getting tattered and my daughter asked how old it was. I had no idea. However we recently moved and I was sorting some old pictures and there it was, dated and all! It was 50 years old. No wonder it is about over the hill! 50 years of history in one old quilt! It has covered a bunch of kids, dogs, been used as a tent over the clothesline, over a card table as a hideout, to cover up on the porch swing when it was chilly, etc, etc. Makes me grin to just look at it!

The monkeys are soooo cute!!! I always embroider my quilt labels onto the backing b4 I attach it to the quilt top & batting. There are designs of quilt labels you can buy to use on the embroidery machine but I don't always use them.

I machine embroider my labels and sew them on before they go to my longarm quilter. Making it big enough to add necessary info. later. After the baby is born, I add the babies name and birthdate with a fabric permanent pen.
