    Default What to put on label to sell quilt?

    I am going to attempt to try to sell my quilts in a consignment shop here in town. I am not a business and mostly don't expect "return" customers...just put them in as they sell kind of thing. But.. Ifigure I should at least identify my own work and put a label on them. In this case...what you do suggest I put on them? I don't want my phone number on them as I don't think that is appropriate, kind of tacky. And my name, still, not sure about putting that on there as I dont' know who is going to buy and what they might do with my name so... any suggestions?

    I would at least put my name or some abbreviation and the date (month and year) the quilt was completed.

    Maybe

    I don't think it needs to be as much or as detailed when it is a for sale quilt. But it would be good to be able to identify the quilter and the date, which is the whole reason for a label anyway.

    I went into a consignment shop to sell some of my childrens clothes. She wanted tags on them. I wanted to use my etsy name (hulamoon) but then when I told her I used to sell on ebay under fuzzyjewels, she said you should use that name. She didn't want any hawaiian products in her store. using hulamoon is too hawaiian. Geeze

    Do you have a cute name you could use?

    Karen E. should be good enough, Tucson, Arizona (whatever town your in), 2013

    Since it's a consignment shop they may "not" required the fabric content and washing instructions if you don't have those tags, but it's a nice professional touch.

    Me too, I would worry about putting my "real" name! no way my address or phone number.. Karen E is ambigious enough to not readily identify you I think?

    You should have at least your first name and last initial. The month and year, and if the quilt has a name you could put that on as well.
    The shop owner can contact you if the person buying is interested in purchasing something else.
    You should check out our FB Group
