What do you put on your labels?
I have done labels before but I wonder if some of you could let me know what you put on yours. The last two I did I just put the name of the quilt and by me and my city, state and date.

Re: What do you put on your labels?
The name of the quilt
pieced by,..........
machine quilted by.........
the date
But that's just me. I usually don't quilt mine myself. I don't make hairloom quilts. They are ment to be used and I very much doubt any one will be looking for a label. I don't put labels on charity quilts.

Re: What do you put on your labels?
I use a pigma pen and just write on back fabric of the quilt. I do it like this:
(Name of Quilt),
___________________________________
_______________________________________
_______________________________________
_______________________________________
___________________________________
______________________________________
Signed: _________________
It looks like a writen letter ready to be mailed.

Re: What do you put on your labels?
It depends on the quilt.
For the baby quilts (lots of great nieces/nephews) I put 'For Childs Full Name - Pieced and Quilted by Great Aunt My Full Name - Date'
If I've named my quilts I'll put the name of the quilt on the label as well.
Here are three labels I've done.

Re: What do you put on your labels?
I use my embroidery machine to do my labels so I can't put too much info on them and I like to keep them about a 4 x 6 size. I always name my quilts (even if it's just the pattern name) and then the person I did it for (if I was doing it for someone specific) then my name, the date completed, and sometimes I'll even added my city and state.

Re: What do you put on your labels?
These are great ideas. Thanks! I have done a couple on the computer and printed on fabric. I like the ones that are posted here. I don't have a embodery machine so that is why I use the computer. Before I use to hand write it like momof6quilts. Hand writing is nice if it is for a family member. I just like the computer prints so much better. You can be so creative with them.
