It appears I have been falling behind in
my labeling. All my entries for the quilt show
are without labels so I had to get busy and make
some information for the backs.
I pulled out the drawer of small fancy
blocks that have been collecting for some time.
A friend who gave me most of them,
does fine hand work and gifted me the
spares from her Dear Jane project.
The rest are leftovers from my
projects and surprises that
I find in the scrap goodies friends gift me.
Using some of the 1 1/2" strips I had out
for my RSC project, I bordered up some
squares and added them to the labels.
It is almost like making another quilt
for the back. I also get to enjoy my friend's
fine handwork whenever I use the quilt!
It has been a good reminder to keep up
on my labeling but it was a very pleasant
day making little tiny quilts.
Stay safe and sew on!

I have never labeled and should!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't how will our great greats know, "Who made this ?"
DeleteGreat way to use up orphan blocks and the blocks you've been gifted! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2024/03/27/wednesday-wait-loss-373
ReplyDeleteDo you print your labels on special fabric? Do you have a tutorial or quick steps!
ReplyDeleteI use a paper backed cotton printable page. It is by Jacquard and I purchase mine in an art shop! The say " InkJetPrinting for use with inkjet printer and Inkject copiers. I have found it does fade after many many washings but it seems to work
Deleteokay for me. Some people use a bubble jet prep product to prepare basic cotton for printing.
Deb, I love the idea of tiny quilts to go along with your labels! I must remember that! Thanks for sharing that. Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome!
DeleteClever idea! Like you, I usually find myself doing binge-labeling.
ReplyDeleteYes, your little blocks with your labels is so darn clever. I'd be interested in how you make your labels too -- at least it looks like they are printed. Maybe you could share some day.
ReplyDeleteSounding like I may do a post on them. I just finished printing some generic, ( not fancy) labels for the quilts I will gift later. They just needed to be identified for a quilt show.
DeleteHi Deb, I tend to forget about adding a label if I'm not giving it away too! I love using or even making a little block to add to the label. I've gotten lazy over the last few year but these look so much better. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I do use a commercial, premade label . They are great for last minute things or even to dress up a charity quilt!
DeleteThat is a clever idea. Labels are something I never remember. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteWe often don't label until we are forced!! Either quilt show or a gift!!Thank you for hosting a great linky party.!
