This week's theme is: Quilt LABELS

I was so very inspired this morning when I read Deb's "revived" post from 2009 about labeling and creating labels for our quilts. When she wrote: "I enjoy designing the label as an extra piece of art."...I couldn't help but stop and question myself for not doing the same. She uses a greeting card program and gave all the details for creating a variety of creative labels for our quilts.
 I was so very inspired and think you will be too!!
I mean look at this ingenious book style label:
Here's the inside:
Thanks for writing and rejuvinating such an informative and inspiring post Deb.
This is definitely one that needed to be "revived"!
Deb blogs at Stitchin' Therapy and you can click HERE to check out her wonderful post.

  2. I saw that post in my blog feed too, brilliant!! I have been meaning to do a post on labels but just haven't gotten to it yet. Maybe that should be my one monthly goal?

  4. I like your story of the quilt your aunt made, along with its well-washed hand written label. There are some very inspiring labels being shown here. Mine are always simple, rather like your aunt's. So simple I would never write a post about them!

  5. Labels are a GREAT topic for the linky this week! It's so easy for the label to be just a hasty afterthought, but especially with a gift quilt, the personalized label is often the most appreciated part of the whole quilt to the person who receives it. What a special label really says is "this quilt was made JUST FOR YOU."

  6. I also feel that a label is another chance to add yet another "creative spin" to your quilt or the backing. Deb always does such great things with her projects and can't wait to read about what others have done!

  9. very creative, I just write with a permanent pen on a piece of white fabric and sew it on the back. No programmes on my computer for making these but maybe I will think about making something nicer

  11. Lots of fun labels. Sometimes I struggle with the label and sometimes I just know what it is going to look like.
