What do you put on your QUILT LABLES when you make them yourself???

[LadyRags]

I need to write up a label for quilt care for an heirloom quilt. I am not sure what to include on the label. I also need to know what kind of quilt care information do you include. I plan to put labels on the back using label s printed on a computer.

Please post what you think is important, this quilt is destine to be a family treasure but will be used only during the Christmas season.


Also what information to you put on your quilts labels besides

QUILT MAKER'S NAME AND
YEAR QUILT WAS MADE
City and State of the quilt maker

I put Name of Quilt:
For:
Made by:
City, State:
Date completed:

Since it is an heirloom quilt I'd tell them to never use it, have it out at Christmas just for decoration, never wash it, and store it in an acid-free box with acid-free tissue paper, and wear gloves when handling it.

Can we see a picture of this quilt?

If you sew down the bottom and sides of your label and leave the top open, you can put the care directions on a piece of fabric and put in in the "pocket". Be sure you finish the labels top edge for looks and so it won't ravel.

Neat idea, Rosie.

I keep pictures on my web page... with this quilt I was also practicing taking quilt pictures and making changed on my camera setting to see what worked best... that is why there are so many of the pictures.
