    I see no reason not to sign your name, put on a date, and maybe a Bible verse or favorite saying. I'm not worried about being "stalked" or "harassed" by a veteran or someone in a nursing home. And I'm not looking for recognition or future customers. (Just a few things another poster felt was a concern to her.) But there is nothing wrong (in my own opinion) with putting this info on a quilt even when for charity.

    An artist painting a picture to donate would still put their signature on the canvas. I think of all the antique quilts we have today that have no signature and what a loss that is. I don't think those ladies thought their quilts would ever be so valued or sought after as they are today and maybe ours never will be, but should they survive into the next century, I think it would be for posterity to have this info on the quilt, if for no other reason. :-D

    Ultimately, it's a personal choice with no right or wrong answer. Just do what feels right and you can't go wrong. :D

    Our group puts a label on all of our quilts. We make them and they say:
    Love and Comfort To You
    Coos Sand 'n Sea Quilters
    "Quilts For Giving"
    Oregon

    Our Guild has a label that we put on each quilt we give. It has the Guilds name, City and State, that way they can send a thank you if they desire.

    For every quilt I make, even the two I donated to auctions I sew in a washable label, and embrodiered initials in a corner. There isn't any thing someone can find out about you that can't be found on the internet.

    I write on the face of the hanging sleeve, the charity, when, where, whatever I want to say. I use a permanent pen. There is lots of space if the quilt has many contributors to its construction.
    This is in addition to a regular label.

    One of group who is very talented makes a label with the name of our group and Co,State. She puts one on every quilt we give out.
