Well several months later I looked at them, they were all BAD! they had 'bled'...the lines were smeared and bleeding, it was wierd. The only thing I wonder about it that the fabric used had not been prewashed. It was very disappointing.Di~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14361700150707522409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-27394853583679403962008-08-22T09:20:00.000-05:002008-08-22T09:20:00.000-05:00I get behind on making labels as well. one day I a...I get behind on making labels as well. one day I added about 5-8 and i tried to resolve to not get behind again. it's easier to label the ones I am giving away. the ones that stay here at home are the ones I procrastinate on.Amanda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311818385469850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-65597779659873280442008-08-19T18:59:00.000-05:002008-08-19T18:59:00.000-05:00I have never labeled any of my quilts before...I r...I have never labeled any of my quilts before...I really should start doing this!

I used to try to get fancy with the handwriting and embroidery and all that, but I'll settle for a stamped frame and handwritten info now!

To be fancy, I recently made a cross stitch label for a gift quilt, and that worked out very well. I just embroidered on the cross stitch material, and then I cut it out and finished the edges, and hand sewed it down. And for a quick hint, my sewing machine will write a couple of words, so I can make that and hem it to the back. I just did that for the first time the other day.Rosalyn Manessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732466850346976888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-8240263588474941642008-08-18T15:18:00.000-05:002008-08-18T15:18:00.000-05:00Not made that many quilts yet.

I want to make a coloured devliegendekoe logo/lay-out and use my colour printer. All it needs then have is to iron the printed fabric on the back side so the ink will dry and wash the label to remove all the toner that’s not gone into the fabric.

No labels here. I really hate that about myself because quilts are so important to me and I want them to be remembered and want whoever has them to know something about the quilts history.
