Quilt Labels

This is my most recent example of a quilt label.  I hand embroider all my labels.  This one in particular was attached to the quilt I made for my mother-in-law who recently passed away.  Laura was my mother-in-law, Louise is her older sister and best friend.  When Laura passed away, we asked Louise if she would like to take the quilt.  She was very happy to take it. It reminded her of her dear sister, and she loves homemade things.

I'm not a wonderful artist, so most of my quilt label designs are "borrowed" from Pinterest or other websites.  I have a light board with which I put the drawing on, then the fabric over the drawing. Then I hand embroider the design.

Quilt labels are important. They usually document the quilt name or pattern used, who made it, when it was completed, and sometimes to whom it was given to.

I'm pretty proud of how my quilt labels turn out.  My embroidery is much better than my quilting (but I enjoy quilting more).  On another post I will display some of my prize winning embroidery pieces.
