It seems like by that time, I'm DONE with it. But, I found a couple books that have transfers that you iron onto muslin or other plain fabric and then you can color it with pens and fill in the information. I really like these and have tried to get all my quilts labeled, but haven't quite finished. I'm going to email 2 labels to you that I have done. The books are: 50 Nifty Iron-on Quilt Labels by Barbara Baatz Hillman and Quilt Labels for all Occasions by Brooke Smith. Sometimes, I will iron a bunch of them on fabric and then will color them with pens while watching TV.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-69987431139819123242013-03-18T11:21:32.149-07:002013-03-18T11:21:32.149-07:00I took one of the Inkjet Printing cotton sheets an...I took one of the Inkjet Printing cotton sheets and print out business card size labels that I make up in MS Word. ( well actually DH does this for me as his part of the quilting process). Sometimes I sew them into a large size and sometimes I just leave it that small.

My machine has a decorative stitch to stitch letters of the alphabet, so I just find a nice space in one of the borders and stitch right through the whole quilt: title of the quilt, date and my name. Kind of lazy I guess, but I won't have to worry about ink washing or wearing off.Jean Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495393121221507501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-24095916641290733952013-03-18T06:50:21.034-07:002013-03-18T06:50:21.034-07:00I hardly ever label my quilts.

I'm on a search for some pansy material to make frames for our labels for my prayer quilt ministry. missysaprons@gmail.comMissy Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209549470700130606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-6457869407161720362013-03-18T05:08:30.620-07:002013-03-18T05:08:30.620-07:00My favorite labels are the one made with the quilt...My favorite labels are the one made with the quilters hand writing. So, I started writing all my labels by hand. I sometimes use an extra block on the back and write on it. Other times I just take a piece of light fabric from the quilt and write on the label name(s), name of the quilt, date,place. I also add later where it was displayed and any awards received. Enjoy your labels.Cissa Khttp://cissasblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-89681828908167164732013-03-17T20:25:08.313-07:002013-03-17T20:25:08.313-07:00I have seen fancy labels and I am impressed by the...I have seen fancy labels and I am impressed by them, but my reality is once I get to the label I am not in the frame of mind to spend a lot of time making a gorgeous label. I admire those who do. I am getting serious about labeling things, though, so I usually just do the muslin triangle in the corner. I think twice I actually used some scraps from the quilt to create the labels, but usually I am not that patient. Maybe I'll send you a photo of one of those, though it isn't fancy.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.com
