Yes, I make labels for my quilts on my embroidery machine. Sometimes it includes my own special name for the quilt.
My labels are double folded pieces of fabric that I used in quilt. That way there is always a piece of repair fabric in the quilt. They are stitched right into two corners of binding and then hand stitched into the other two sides.

I like putting labels on all of my gift quilts. If they are donation quilts I usually just sew in the year and month somewhere on a lower block or the binding with my initials
I think the labels make the gifts more personal. Some day I will have an embroidery machine to make my own (I hope)

I only label gift quilts, and buy them from a seller on Etsy. She prints beautiful custom labels---I include the name of the recipient, "made with love" by me, and the name of the quilt pattern. I don't label charity quilts or those I keep.

They're often labeled with the name of an organization that donated them, but usually not with an individual's name. I think the reasoning is that the giver doesn't know who will wind up with the quilt and doesn't want to invite personal contact, or some just want to give anonymously.

Thanks for the reminder, everyone!
