A while back I had made a promise to myself to get the labels on four quilts I had finished. As luck would have it I didn't have Audrey's quilt available at the time. I had dropped it off, with a few others, to a friend to have some pictures taken. Well, I finally retrieved all the quilts about a month ago but didn't get the label on Audrey's until last night.
What is it with me and labels? First I can't decide what to write on the label; too much is just ugly and not enough seems pointless. I started out with this one for Audrey but it just sat there like a big old blob. The lettering looks like a 6 year old did it. I stared at it for two weeks while I worked on the Blue and Cream project but never sewed it on. Do you have troubles like this with labels?
The night before last I pulled out the box of scraps from the "Quilts for The Girls" project. Dug out the pieces from Audrey's quilt and made a block for the label. I like this one much better! It's all sewn down and ready to go. Can't wait to see if they like them!!!
Be sure to check in next week when I'll have pictures of the girls with their quilts.
I think labels are stumpers because we don't make a bunch of them (like we do with the blocks) so we don't rehearse what we are gong to do. I agree that this second one looks better.
