Tuesday Tip

Today I thought I would share how I make my quilt labels.  First, I wrote what I wanted on the quilt label on my computer using my word processing program.  Then I printed the label on fabric with paperbacking meant to be fed through my Inkjet Printer.  You may also use a fabric pen and write your message on fabric to make your label.  After the ink dries, I heat set it.  Trim the label to unfinished size, remember you need to leave your 1/4" seam allowance.  Then I used scraps from the quilt top to frame the label.

 

Lay the label on a piece of fabric and pin.  I prefer the fabric that I used on the back of the quilt.  Put the right sides together and stitch a 1/4" seam around label.

 

Carefully, cut a slit in the back. 

 

Pull the label through the slit and turn the right side out.

Use a button hole or whip stitch to stitch shut the whole in the back of the label.

Press your label and hand-stitch your label on the back of your quilt.

 

Have a great day!  This quilt is on its way to its new home.  Woo Hoo!!! An eleven year old UFO off my list.  It feels good!

 

Today I am linking up with Connie at Freemotion by the River and Vals' Quilting Studio.
