Quilts should be labeled so that they become heirlooms. Thea Nerud's mission is to get ALL quilts labeled, and offers several ideas for attractive and informative labels. Thea shows how to transfer photographs and lettering onto washable fabric labels that become a permanent part of the quilt. The lettering can be computer generated. She's done a great job and shows several tested and illustrated techniques.

Wow! what a fun book! I will never make boring labels again. I love the little three dimensional animals for children's quilts. The section on making labels for old quilts was wonderful, especially with the photos of the quiltmakers and the people who got the quilts. A large number of the labels in the book were printed on the computer. I will try that and I want to try the crayon labels also. Might even try the cross stitch one....

I love this book! Ms. Nerud presents a wealth of unique ideas for all skill levels. The writing is excellent, the directions concise and easily understood, and the book itself is visually appealing. Her suggestions are easily adaptable for other sewing projects in need of a personal touch that only a one of a kind, specially created "made by.." label can provide.
