Hi All, I have a question. How do you make labels for your quilts. I really want to sign my quilts, so far all went out without a label, and I really want to change that.

I have an embroidery machine and I stitch my labels with that. I bought a frame design set and use that. I do know that there are printable fabrics. You could download some free label designs (google search) and then just print them out and sew on. Some printable fabrics are not washable so be careful.

Patchiereggie - there are many ways to do labels on quilts. I'm going to give you some links for here and other places on the internet so you can compare what will work best for you.

Be warned. I am BORED.
This could be dangerous.
When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
They are usually 90 degrees.
A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
I'm so mad that I didn't label the baby quilt I made for my best friends wee babe. sigh. Oh well it's shipped and gone now! LOL!
some very nice ideas here
I let woven this labels and sew them on the backside of my quilts. they are just the size 1 1/2 to 3 inches, but I think they look nicely. the name "Bella Morgentau" is a mix between my familyname (Schoen in Italian means "Bella" or in Englisch: beautiful, and Morgentau is the name of the road we are living and that means "morningdew") and my adress. And from the Chinese horoscope I am a dragon ...
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.

I was looking at ebay at the quilting panels and saw some panels that are actually printed quilt labels ready to cut out, fill in and sew to the quilt. Seems like a good idea for those of us without an embroidery option.

I haven't labeled my quilt yet, I know that's not good. I want to create a tag from ribbon or twill tape with my name on it, but I don't have an embroidery machine. I'm still looking for someplace that will create this for me.

I cooked today. I made a quilt sandwich
Good ideas posted Sandy, thanks! I havent labeled any yet eitherand should though.
Finished is way better than perfect!
I like to use an interfac-backed muslin and write my message with pigma pens or other fabric pens. I turn the edge under and only put the interfacing in the center for stability. Sometimes I use decorative stitches on the label too.
I ordered mine from NewarkDress.com and homesew.com. 40 Labels "Created By HdWench Debbie" they took 4 weeks to make them, but $29.50 for 40 labels isn't bad.
Some folks use Spoonflower -- I haven't looked into that -- I've used the Freezer Paper on Muslin through my printer twice, then realized if I blew up our Laser Jet over fabric feeding through DH would toss a FIT! lol Cheaper to buy them made for you than risk your printer :-)
