I never put labels on my smaller projects. My quilt labels are big, take some work and have several lines of information on them. I've seen little labels in a bunch of quilting blogs. They fit in the corners of a quilt or along the binding. They're unobtrusive yet identify the artist.
I put enough work into my placemats that I wanted to "sign" them. So I printed off a bunch of one-line labels to sew into the binding. I forgot that I wanted to do this until I had bound most of the placemats. (I was so excited to finish them.) I had to rip out just enough of the seam to tuck in the label and re-stitch. I like them! I will certainly do this again for other small projects.
I stitched up the last placemat last night! Now I just need some good daylight to take my final pictures before sending them off to my sister.

The little labels were a present from my daughter and I want to sign my little projects too. Just like you, I am in a hurry to finish the small projects and forget the lables often and need to rip out a little bit. I will come back to see the other side of the placemats.

Great idea! I guess we are all alike on labels. I make lots of smaller projects and this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteSally how did you print these and on what?
ReplyDeleteI happened to print them on inkjet printable fabric. But I've also seen instructions out there how to print on regular fabric ironed to freezer paper. I love my inkjet printer!
DeleteThey look great Sally, neat idea!
