I think it is wonderful and I love your labeling, beautiful sentiment - especially snuggling in a quilt, there's nothing more comforting.

Hi!
I designed the quilt label in MS Publisher. Did a search of their clip art for wedding bells, and just chose that one for simplicity. The wording just kind of came together. Wanted something about snuggling. The quilt is full size done on my Janome 6500- I knew their bed was a king. It is by no means an heirloom, but wanted them to use it and wear it out-picnics, snuggling by TV, etc. Everyone knows the "kiss me goodnight" saying. It all just happened. I don't have an embroidery machine, no time to do by hand. However, I keep books for an embroidery/screen printing company, so saved as a jpeg file and had the girl embroider it for me on a piece of the backing fabric. Thanks for the interest!

what a pretty quilt and I love you tag, I have been making larger tags for my quilts also. One grand daughter told me Granny these tags are pretty but I miss the little made by grandma with love tags. those I used to buy in packages.
Children can be total honest.
thanks for sharing.
