QuiltDragon. Your labels are gorgeous. And I really enjoyed going through your brag pictures as well. I am waiting impatiently for our first grandbaby in May.

The bubble jet set is awesome - I used it on the portrait quilt I made for my grandniece and it's survived my washes and many washes by her Mom.

Jan, I use my inkjet printer but I almost always add a PP block with the handwritten section. I've also used that, but typed out the label and then add it to the pieced block. I have two on my page (they're at the end, so you can save time by clicking on the back arrows when the slide show starts (there are a lot of Nana/Aunt Barb brag pics that you may want to bypass).

I bought some already made labels at the quilt shop in Creston Iowa. You can buy it by the yard. Then I take permanant marker and write on the label what I want and sew it on.

I met up with Jackie again today and I have some new pics on my page of our challenge quilts we did as partners. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Jan, I also do all my labels using my computer and yes, inkjet printer. That way, I can design the label to match the quilt - an out-of-focus example is on my photos page. You can buy ready-made fabric sheets, or use your own fabric. You need to treat your fabric first with Bubble Jet Set, (available on-line and in many quilt shops. - gads I sound like an ad, but I promise, I have no affiliation with Bubble Jet!) That will keep the photo and text from washing out. Once treated with the Jet Set, you iron your fabric onto a sheet of freezer paper, then print your design just like you would if you were using Printed Treasure or EQ Printables. I prefer my own fabric because it is less stiff. Hope this helps!

Are you just using a standard inkjet printer for the fabric sheets?
