what to do when you don't want to label
#1
Ok, here is my dilemma. I made a wall hanging but I did a good enough job that i didn't want to disrupt how the back looked with a label. It was for a swap so I thought I should do a label.
What other ways are there to label a quilt or wall hanging without actually putting a label on it? Did that make sense?
I ended up writing with a pigma pen along the binding what it was for but there should be something else that could be done. I'm not a very good quilter so it has to be a simple solution.

While labels are prefered, I can understand why you might not want to put one on. I agree writing on the back with pigma is fine.
I have been in the DQ swap for a while and I have received quilts both ways. For those who have not put a label on, they always send a note or card. I write on the back of the card/note where it came from and I keep them in a drawer in my quilting room.

My rule of thumb with labels, if you can't hide it then feature it. Mt last couple of swaps I printed labels on fabric with my current avatar and the recipients current avatar. Sets a timeline as well if you change avatars. Of course embroidery is good too. And sometimes I forget a label all together.
