I've always believed all pens/markers should be stored in vertical position with writing tip down....but the pigmas are to be store laying horizontal.<br />About writing on fabric: I found if I draw lines in black marker onto freezer paper, then iron the paper to the fabric, I can see the lines well enough to keep my writing straight.<br />That's all the advice/info I have for today!!

I also use a glue pen to tack down the label as well as sewing it to the qult.

I've been adding labels and making sure I remember the basics: quilt name, recipient, maker's name, date and the state it was made in. <br /><br />The only part I disagree with is the part about the embroidered label being the same if you have my sewing machine. I create my embroidered labels with digitizing software. That way I can create a font, if needed, add little motifs and make the label another part of the design of the quilt. That doesn't mean that the hand-written label doesn't have the same class, it is just in its own class. I think they can both have an amazing effect on the finished quilt, each in their own way.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218905508160290357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48955733154243160772014-02-11T19:40:03.450-05:002014-02-11T19:40:03.450-05:00I just thought of something--what if Kathy put tha...I just thought of something--what if Kathy put that top in the thrift store--Boomerang!

I understand how Kathy feels not knowing when she will finish the quilt--I still have a friendship block exchange top from the 80's and exchange blocks from the 90's to finish! Too many other wonderful projects have come my way--now with the internet, I want to do it all! And I haven't even mentioned all the new fabrics.....!

I label most all my quilts with at least my name, town, and year quilt was made. Don't always put a recipient name, because some are given to charities with the stipulation of no name for the giftee. My brand new students are already learning that labels are an absolute must for all of their quilts. Thanks for the update, Bonnie.Elehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810669367811236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-21471743598930989302014-02-11T18:25:04.682-05:002014-02-11T18:25:04.682-05:00I am bad about labels, but vow to be better!

I searched and searched and SEARCHED your blog and couldn't find it! I ended up cutting my square 6" and wrote on it before sewing it in to the binding. This is such a good and simple way to label! <br />Have a wonderful time with your family!Me and My Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16470153447120413738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-26277194386268314822014-02-11T16:39:52.745-05:002014-02-11T16:39:52.745-05:00Has ANYONE tried this for a label.

Neater too.<br /><br />I am thinking of writing out several quilt labels on paper, putting the paper I wrote on my scanner then scanning onto the fabric sold to print on!!!<br /><br />Takes care of both ideas?<br /><br />Bonnie what do you think?<br /><br />OH!

The sky out there goes on into eternity!<br /><br />As for the "Rest of the Story" on Terry's blog - I found it nice but in a way sad. Sad? Kathy (who has it and was part of the round robin) didn't seem to be excited about the find as I would have been. She was giving excuses (it seemed) to NOT complete the quilt. It would be terrific to send to a machine quilter, then have it as a memory to share with others. Not sure this will happen.<br /><br />As to Terry? What a GREAT lady she is. She worked hard and was diligent getting to the bottom of the mystery. GOOD WORK TERRY.<br /><br />Thank you Bonnie for sharing the Quilter's Tale with us.<br />Smiles, JuieinTNAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622397925157647174noreply@blogger.com
