"Tip Tuesday!" - Quilt Label Sayings
I love learning new things and then sharing that knowledge with my quilting friends. So, every Tuesday I'll provide some tips, hints, tricks, tutorials, shortcuts, etc. that I've learned over the years and share them here on the blog.
"Tip Tuesday" will be a collection of information about a wide variety of subjects garnered from a large variety of sources. I am not an expert by any means and do not take credit for being the great wizard behind all of these hints and tips. I will gladly give due credit whenever possible.
These tips will be archived and accessible to you just by clicking on the "Tip Tuesday" tab above.
Read, enjoy, and be inspired!

Do you always put a label on your quilts? I have to admit there are times that I don't. I guess that I just don't think about it, although I do try to remember to label quilts that are for someone special like family members, etc.
Even though I have often forgotten to do it in the past, I'm making a concerted effort to remember from this point forward, no matter who will be the recipient.
While thinking about this and the best way to remember to do this, I found a wonderful resource - Quilter's Diary
Besides quilt label sayings, this site has lots of other information that is helpful and interesting. There are posts and tutorials for lots of things like cutting up fat quarters, making a half hour table runner, stitching in the ditch, making a quilt as you go log cabin quilt, etc.
Not only have I found a great label resource, I've also found some new and exciting projects to make. :-)
I don't always label my minis - I sign and date them. Table runners or table toppers - never. Charity quilts rarely get labels unless they ask for a specific generic label. All other get labels. My problem is 'naming' a quilt. Where did that come from - I don't remember my gr.gran or aunties naming a quilt? I might list the block(s) names or design or fabric line, but usually it is just a simple label with name and date.
