Labels

I have been busy this week making labels.
I make custom embroidery labels for myself and others.

Some of you have seen the labels I have posted here on my blog. 



I make them on my Designer I.  I have been making labels for a year now and really enjoy it.




It is so nice to be able to put that finishing touch on a quilt.  Not only can a label tell you who made the quilt but it can tell you who it is for and if it was made for a special occasion.  It is nice to have the date on a quilt, for future reference.
  

It is especially nice to offer someone a quilt as a gift and have that personalized touch on the back saying, "I made this just for you!"




I work on my labels on the computer using the Husqvarna 5D software.  Then I send my customer a mock-up of their label for their approval.  I can then make changes before actually sewing the label onto the fabric.  Once it is to their liking, I sew it up and send it off.  It's as easy as that! (As long as my machine co-operates!)



If you are interested in purchasing a customized label (or know of someone who is), please feel free to contact me.

  1. Your labels are lovely. Imagine my surprise to see amongst your labels someone I may have gone to high school with. I won't say who in a public place; only will say, you never know who might share a hobby in later years when you may have had little in common back when you were both 16. lol
