So glad this was useful! Not only does the computer help us spell - but it also helps with the fact that I have terrible handwriting - so a win win. Good luck with the label making - so important.

When I decided to donate a quilt to our local school fundraiser, I decided to go a little further with the label for this one, which is still a WIP. I found a label maker on Etsy, they printed the simple info on the fabric for me, and I now have 4 'bases' for labels, with room for the date, etc. Think I will use your idea of the 'light box' to include other info, if you don't mind.?? If I don't copy exactly, I will end up mis-spillng sumthng....Vicky aka Stichrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398784887410187456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678601059047959014.post-72831426220188550612013-12-27T15:57:01.773-06:002013-12-27T15:57:01.773-06:00Sheri: Thanks for taking time to share your story....Sheri: Thanks for taking time to share your story. I agree labels can make a quilt much more special. Printing on fabric from the computer works well, but I have just read that the ink from the printer will fade over time... that is why I am trying out the archival inks. They are not supposed to fade. Who knows. Hope it stays.

It was brought home to me when we had an antique quilt presentation given by a collector who lovingly told us about her treasures and it was evident how much more special they were when there was a label with a real link to the past! The one I remember most said "Made by _______, mother of ________, _________, & __________ and the year it was made". Can't remember the exact names or year but was so sweet! I've had some success printing them out from the computer using freezer paper ironed on to the fabric.Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201230046522105088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678601059047959014.post-46697926337661613362013-12-14T18:29:04.797-06:002013-12-14T18:29:04.797-06:00Even better idea to have them pre-printed!

Many of my quilts have been made just for the pleasure of making the block, or using a certain technique. When I make a special quilt, I do add more information that I print on the computer using some printer friendly fabric.sandiqltrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661882941086172622noreply@blogger.com
