    I just noticed that when you open a fabric collection at Connecting Threads, in addition to the link on the left to download the fabric library into EQ6, that there is a quilting label link below it that goes with the fabric collection! I never looked at it before but they are pretty nice.

    I have 3 of the collections there that I need to download when I get home.

    Pam, do you mean a pattern for a label, to match the fabric collection?

    No, it's a graphic file that matches the fabric that you download and print. I print them on fabric label sheets. Run them through the printer, let them dry, peel it off and rinse, then sew them to the quilt.

    With a graphic file like that I would open it in MS Paint, use the writing tool to add my label info, then print it.

    I'm dancing here. I am so happy I can load those to my EQ6. This will save me time with DGD quilt. Thanks.

    I think I might be a little dense, because I don't understand what you are saying. Is this just for people with EQ?

    No, it's not for EQ. It is just a graphic (picture) file. You can download it, open it with MS Paint, type your label information in the center area, then print it.
