Quilt labels for my friend the quilter. I found these on OESD, # 12621 Memorable Quilt Labels. She thought they were to large so I reduced them some. I know I have seen quilt labels on other sites , but can't remember. Help!

what is the size of the labels, does the name come with it?

The original size is app 6 in x 4 in and I made them smaller. You add your own text. The back is a piece of no show mesh. You add the mesh last and turn the label inside out after making a slit in the mesh.

thanks for the tip. I had always just sewn the labels and turned the edges in and sewed them on. Your way is easier with nicer results. Thank you!

Thanks for the link. They are large size templates and very nice.

Thanks for the link. I usually make my own labels when requested but these may be perfect for someone that just wants to pen a note themselves.

I make up my own labels design, the finish size is quite large since so much information is requested . Looks like she just wants something very simple , explain if you go too small the font becomes illegible.
Great job!

I can read the right one better, but you have done an excellent job, on both.

Cute labels! Emb Library has a bunch of labels as well. I tend to make up my own using mini designs from whereever that go with the quilt in some way. Mine can get pretty big though....depending on what info I want there. The nice thing about embroidered labels is that they don't fade with the wash. You are a good friend to do this for your friend!

Like both of them. I guess depends on the person getting the label whether or not they want bold or line written style. Both work and can read them both. I think you've done a great job creating these.

She picked them up today and liked the one on the left the best. She left me fabric to do another one for another quilt. I will post it later. Kay
