Welcome to the 6th challenge in the Snippets series.
We’ve made it to the sixth Snippets challenge, and this one might just be the most important step in finishing a quilt: adding a label.
Are you a dedicated quilt labeler? Or are you like me—only labeling the ones that really need it? (No judgment here!)
I get it. Adding a label can feel like an extra step, and sometimes, it’s hard to know what to write. But years from now, I promise the person who owns that quilt—whether it’s you or someone you love—will appreciate knowing its story.
What Should You Put on a Quilt Label?
Labels don’t have to be fancy or filled with something profound. While a heartfelt message is always nice, it’s perfectly okay to keep it simple. Here are the basics:
1) Quilt name
2) Who made it
3) The date
4) Who it was made for (if applicable)
That’s it! No need to overthink it.
Find a finished quilt and add a label. If you need some inspiration, I walk through my labeling process in this week’s Snippets video. I’m also sharing a peek at the exclusive quilt labels I send to quilters who sign up for my weekly newsletter, Bites of PBJ. (Not on the list yet? You can join HERE.)
