Quilt Label
#12
I made a Word document or Powerpoint slide and print it out on Printed Treasures. I make sure the label has all the data, name of my quilt, may name (including my maiden name), date, who it was for, etc, and a place for me to sign it in Pigma pen.
I want my signature on all my quilts. Today I only sign birthday cards, Christmas cards, and checks. And lots of people don't even sign those things! In 100 years there will be no handwriting. Some schools aren't even teaching cursive now. I just think that maybe someone inheriting my quilts will get a kick out of seeing human handwriting from 2011.

Just the top, bottom and sides of the middle part gets sewn on to the quilt so it always opens like a little envelope.

There are 2 or 3 people on the board that offer to embroider them for sale, too. I have ordered some from online (with cats or other things on them) that I will hand write with a permanent Pigma Micron pen. (for fabric and other things, acid free)

I tend to scan in a part of the material into the label and then paste it into a Word document. When i like it I print it out.
I am going to try some rotary perse with a flowered fabric I have in one of my quilts.
You can also do a Search on the QB and find a lot of ways to do labels.
