Would some of you be willing to post pictures of your quilt labels that you make?

Boy am I jealous! Mine came from Connecting Threads with my name on them and I hand print the dates in micro-pen. I also place a tab in the binding of a red heart that says "ps I love you" purchased at the LQS. I need to up my game now!

The embroidry ones are beautiful but I think the hand written ones are more personal especially for a family member or close friend. If it is to donated or sold then the machine ones are good. I have never put labels on any of my projects but realize I should.

Where did you get your labels with Bible verses?
I hand quilt, and I had write a label and sew it to the back. I try to put the history of the quilt on the label since it seems like I've been completing other people's projects......(which is great!!)
This is the front of the quilt and the label that I put on the back...When I completed the quilt, we showed it to the woman that donated the blocks and she was so happy and said that her aunt who have been very pleased.

quilt label
I figure that some day, far away, I hope, whom ever has my quilt will wonder about me. :-)
I only change the data regarding each quilt.
The top half is the label. The bottom half is an additional label that is added after "quilt show season".

quilt label (2)
Last try. I make my labels in .xls and I'm trying to "convert" it into something that the board will like :-). Hope this works this time.
Ok this did not work...will have to take a photo and try to repost later.

Quilt labels 3
They say the 3rd time is a charm....we'll see.
On this particular quilt I wrote a poem, but I don't usually do that. I usually give some of the details of why I made the quilt or information about a technique I used.
I have the quilt label, then a label that I add after the "quilt show season" is done for the year, or at least all that I've participated in. I put this information on the 2nd label.
The last photo is what all the labels look like on the quilt. I just had this quilt "documented" Saturday and still have to sew the label on.
