 Labeling your quilts and other fabric art projects with at least your name and date becomes important to help you keep a record, keep track of them at shows, and provide indentification for future generations. 

 I wish so much there was a name or initials on the quilt my mom and dad received as a wedding gift.  If Mother ever told me, when I was a child, who made it, I do not recall.  So the owner’s identity is lost forever.

I didn’t know about or think about, in my early quilting days,  labeling the quilts I made to give as gifts and those I made for customers.  I’ve written previously about this topic, Do You Label Your Quilts.

I recently discovered an interesting post, Quilt Labels, at Quilt By Faith.

The easiest way for me to document this is to let the quilt keep its own history, Suzanne Kistler says.

Check out Suzanne’s interesting method of labeling.
