I haven’t labeled any quilts yet. I know you are supposed to, but honestly it seems like so much work. But then I found these awesome custom labels from Sweet Water, and thought I’d give them a try. I love them!!! So easy to design and use. They are iron-ons, and after you iron them on, you simply stitch around the edges. I chose the label that gave me the space opportunity to write something in, and it turned out great.
I will definitely be using these on ALL of my quilts!
That’s really cute! Do you sew through the whole quilt to attach when it’s completed? Or did you sew it to the backing before quilting. I’ve only done one label and I followed crazymomquilts suggestions. I actually gave away a quilt recently and I completely forgot to label it!
I sewed it through the whole quilt after the quilt was quilted and bound–this way I could position the label exactly where I wanted it. If you don’t want the stitching through the front of the quilt you could always hand stitch around the label and just stitch through the backing and the batting.
Amanda Jean’s (crazy mom quilts) has a great tutorial for quilt labels, but it was more work than I wanted to do 😉
I do label all my quilts with the name of the pattern, the name of the fabrics, the year I made it, and my name. I once had someone at a class show and tell joke that if you don’t label it then someone might steal it 🙂
I am writing to make you know what a notable encounter my wife’s princess went through viewing your web site. She mastered a wide variety of things, with the inclusion of what it’s like to possess an amazing helping nature to make the others easily master chosen tricky subject areas. You undoubtedly exceeded my desires. Thanks for presenting those great, trustworthy, educational and in addition unique guidance on this topic to Tanya.

Enjoyed looking at this, very good stuff, regards.
Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which
blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting
tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at
options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any
tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
