Re: How many of you attach a label onto your finished projects? And....
What about putting who created the pattern, and if it was LAQ, they should go on the label as well. Then your name of the quilt. Then your name and date and who you are gifting it to. Some day somewhere down the line someone is going to find the quilt and wonder where it came from and might put it in a yard sale, so put as much info on it as possible so it will stay in the family of whomever has it.

Hi Kelly.....I've only just started to attach a label....after 40 quilts....I print out mine on my computer.....I can add a picture on the label.....(maybe myself and the recipient) ...just " to......and made by... and the year".....then I print it on "cotton" paper...and sew it in the corner when I do my binding....I must admit...I feel guilty for not doing labels on the rest of my quilts....LOL....
Re: How many of you attach a label onto your finished projects? And....
Yes, I make labels for all my quilts, which I give as gifts. I do not have a home business. I use Inkjet Fabric Sheets. Item JAC9701, 10 sheet pack, 8.5x11", cotton printable. Create a Word document. I can get ~8-10 labels per sheet. I make 2 columns. I prefer the Lucinda Handwriting font. I usually type: Pieced & Quilted by... (my name) and the year. For special gifts, I may add the name of the quilt pattern & the name of the person receiving the quilt. You can print the sheet in your printer. I cut apart the labels, press under the edges, & hand sew them on the lower corner of the back of my quilt. These labels are manufactured by Rupert, Gibbon & Spider, Inc. Healdsburg, CA. Jacquard Products - Home I saw a demo of this product at a quilt show. These sheets can be used to print pictures on to use as pieces in a quilt. The instructor said to iron the printed sheets to set the ink prior to peeling off the backing. JCY
