Could we see some of your quilt labels? I always forget to add them! 'guess I need to google "free quilt labels" in google!

I do now. I did not when I first started out in 1992. I so wish that I had. There are more that do have labels than not, but I think about the others sometimes. Years from now, no one will know who made them.

I cut pieces of a certain fabric. It is off white with a little tan scroll print. They are 6 x 8 inches before sewing. I write the information on them and press to set the ink.

I have attached a label to every quilt that I have given as a gift. The ones around the house that I have kept and the ones that I have donated have not gotten labels. I should label the ones I have kept....
I used to use a square of Muslin that I would write on with a Pigma pen and then sew on the back.
Not I use my embroidery machine and embroider on a piece of light colored fabric, incorporate is into a leftover block or some of the matching scraps and then sew on back.

I am sending a photo of the last 2 labels I made. I made them in a microsoft publisher program. But you could make them in word as well and just insert the clip art. The second one on the page is an actual graphic of the block I used in her quilt that I pulled from my design in EQ6.

I have never added a labell, but I intend to from now on. At first I just wasn't Proud of the quilt....then I learned that they were'nt actually all that bad and no ones first quilt is gorgeous...we'll....I've seen some that are. Anyway I have pics of quilts I have made and can't remember who I gave them too! Didn't even write on the back of the photo, duh! People that I give them to as gifts are always saying I should label them! Loved all the info you talented ladies gave!

pieces

I add my label to the backing fabric before I send it out to my longarm quilter. If it is a machine embroidered quilt, I will embroider an extra block allowing extra room for information I will want to add. (After the baby is born I would add the babies name, date of birth.) If I can I will embroider this information when I make the label. If it is a pieced quilt top, I sometimes make an extra block if there is room to add the information, but sometimes I will add an embroidered block to these quilts as well.

I always try to add a label,now that i have an embroidery machine i embroider it and add it to the back with a smaller block that i use on the front of the quilt then quilt after it is pieced together onto the backing.
