I think I had 100 of each large and small that say Wanda Hanson Original on them and I probably have enough left yet for the next 2 or 3 years (40+ years). They go on all of my wallhangings but I rarely label a bed quilt. I never label a baby quilt unless the recipient requests it. I figure it's just one more thing for the little one to pick at and pull off and eat.<BR/>Very important wallhangings get a special label with more info.<BR/>I use the 80cotton/20 poly most of the time (Hobbs) and love it.Exuberantcolor/Wanda S Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064308660138307797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-22134426021605906762008-03-09T21:01:00.000-07:002008-03-09T21:01:00.000-07:00I love the star system, too!

Yesterday I just ordered some personalized ribbon from this place:<BR/>http://www.namemaker.com/index.asp<BR/><BR/>For labeling quilts and/or knitting projects. They have neat woven ones or printed ribbon, which is what I got. If you figure putting initials or a name and the date on a roll of ribbon, $18 isn't bad for a year's worth of labels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-90842211728832004172008-03-07T09:07:00.000-08:002008-03-07T09:07:00.000-08:00Bezzie - yes a lot of cottons & flannels come in e...Bezzie - yes a lot of cottons & flannels come in extra wide widths for quilt backing. I haven't used them yet because I always seen to have enough fabric left over from the top to piece together a backing. Thanks for the link too.<BR/><BR/>Olga - please tell me you've at least NAMED your sewing machine ;) I don't have a lot of patience either... I really shouldn't be a quilter! =P<BR/><BR/>Suzie - I feel the exact same way about quilts that I give away, I want them to be used and enjoyed and spit up on and washed and cuddled with etc. Thanks for the tip about the fabric pen - that would be a much faster way to go.Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835352917180439099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-24274349834539849622008-03-07T08:51:00.001-08:002008-03-07T08:51:00.001-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.IamSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477300247354661564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-25483072082457318802008-03-07T08:51:00.000-08:002008-03-07T08:51:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.IamSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477300247354661564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-83489328396130541982008-03-07T08:50:00.000-08:002008-03-07T08:50:00.000-08:00I label my quilts.

I used to stitch a little year on every single crafty thing I made, but I'm too prolific now to bother with that. <BR/><BR/>On quilts I've used fabric marker on a muslin patch which I then applique onto the back. I put my full name, what or who I sititched it for and the year. I've also just written on the back with the fabric marker. <BR/><BR/>Some of my baby quilt gifts have gone out to the babies with no label. I know how it is to be burdened as a parent with way too many handmade blankets and I want the new parents to use mine and not think of it as an heirloom that they can't wash or pass on at some point to another baby in their life.IamSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477300247354661564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-42252309458129379602008-03-07T06:16:00.000-08:002008-03-07T06:16:00.000-08:00Hey !I have a Pfaff too!

I think she hand did it, but she has a top of the line Pfaff that does EVERYTHING so she might of machine that info. THe quilt looks good. I'm really lousey at stitch in the ditch, I am not patience enough.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811133173085232576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518717340795257741.post-6489446113298060242008-03-07T04:21:00.000-08:002008-03-07T04:21:00.000-08:00It looks good!
