Lets get creative with quilt labels

Every quilt has a story: Who made it and why? When was it made? What inspired the quilt? A well-designed label answers those questions and enhances the quilt as well.

Following step-by-step, you will master the methods for making simple yet inspiring labels, learn how your quilt's style and story can inspire the label, and discover why you should label your quilts. Chapters include shaped and themed labels, preparing and transferring text, and lessons for hand-embroidering labels, as well as patterns to use as starting points for creating your own. From the plain to the majestic, every quilt tells a story – tell yours with an artistic, explanatory label. Perfect for quilters of all skill levels.
