Very lovely quilt and a wonderful story! I’m saving the remainder of the video for reference when I’m ready to make some quilt labels-on my UFO goals list for 2023.
Michelle love the tutorial! You make it look so simple. I have to say that, that lable and I do not always get along. You make look so simple! Thank you for the tutorial. 🌲🎅🌲🎅🌲
Great tutorial! Two things to add: 1) for fabrics hard to see through use a light box underneath, and 2) I feel it is important to have city and state on the label. With people moving away from area, a quilt made in another state will be easier to trace with that information. I have a quilt that went to Former Soviet Union and I put USA on the label. There's never too much info on the label. If I know it, I always use first, middle, maiden and married names; I come from a long line of weird maiden and married names. Keeps them alive. For the light box, the fabric prep is still the same; the light box just makes it easier to see. You could sew your label on before binding.
Thanks Michelle - I have gotten into the habit of embordering the label details on the back of the binding before I bind the quilt. I put the name(s) of the recipient and a date. Recently I made a quilt for a wedding present so I used the wedding date. I add 'by Jeri...' far enough away to be on a different side. It looks nice and doesn't stand out.
Great video! Easy to understand! Will use this method to make my quilt labels. I did purchase a Clover Hot Hemmer - works great! You can use 1" pieces of Stitch Witchery on top and sides under back of label, press with iron and it will hold label down on quilt back before sewing it down.
Thank you for a clear tutorial on making the labels I'm working on a special quilt and need to label it. I was worried about fading with a printable label. I like this much better! New subbie 👍🏼
Thanks for such good information on making quilt labels. I usually do the corner triangle but have never used freezer paper. Great idea! Thanks again and Happy New Year!
Some great ideas, thanks Michelle. Love that Bear’s Paw quilt. What size are the finished blocks please? Since it is your pattern maybe you could do a tutorial at some stage🌷
I love the bear paw pattern and I will be glad to do a tutorial on that! Please keep letting me know any topics you would like me to cover in my videos! I really appreciate your input!
I can't read your labels very well. What kind of material are you using for a label? Surely paper isn't going to last. I was thinking about embroidering my name and date of a plain square of material.

Cassie, I’m so glad you found this information helpful! Adding a label is a step none of us as quilters should miss!
I didn't either. I was wondering what the freezer paper was for. Great tutorial

Hi Hanya, I forgot to tell you the size of the block. The bear paw block is a finished size of 6". I will try to do a tutorial on it soon!
@@thesimplequilter7499 Thanks Michelle
Love it
There are lots of fun ways to be creative when adding your labels!
Thank you
You're welcome
Are there any special precautions so the ink doesn't wash out when laundered? Or does the heat setting take care of that?
The pens are fabric safe so no additional measures need to be taken. If washed a lot, it may fade....
I would only give credit on the label to a long armer if they’ve done custom quilting on the quilt.
I have wondered about that….

My labels are fabric.
@@thesimplequilter7499 - Ok, guess I didn't understand your video very well. Sorry.
