How to Label Your Quilts

Customize all the quilts you make with our write-in labels. There’s a space for your name, date, and pattern!

We obviously are fans of adding labels to all our handmade makes around here. One of the most requested labels to date has been large, quilt labels. Specifically ones that could be customized. Our Quilt Info Write-In Labels are screen printed on oh-so-soft organic cotton and have a space to write in the date, your name, and the quilt pattern that was used.

When labeling quilts, our go-to pen is a Micron 05 marker. It’s a permanent, waterproof, and comes in various weights. My favorite is the size 05 in black. It’s still fine-point enough to write clearly but thick enough to be legible.

After writing, allow the ink to dry and then give it a press with a warm iron (without steam). Then it’s good to go!

Quilt labels are often added to the back of a quilt, but I love adding a small label to the front of a quilt too. Pictured above is our pink heart label, which is also available in a ton of other colors.

It really transforms a simple craft into something that tells a story across time.

  7. I guess that’s why people enjoy adding little creative touches – it turns something simple into something memorable. When I take breaks from detailed stuff like that, I usually switch off with something completely different to reset my focus. Lately I’ve been using spribe aviator for that.

Speaking of previews, I’ve been using a site called RedoInk ([https://redoink.com](https://redoink.com)) to play around with tattoo ideas. It’s strangely satisfying to be able to visualize something so clearly beforehand, much like how your labels help preserve the details of a quilt.

It’s funny, I’ve been experimenting with different pens myself, and I also lean towards Micron, though I prefer the 03 for a slightly finer line. For archival purposes, I’ve found a similar sentiment echoed on resources like MW4 Hub, which emphasizes longevity. I’m curious, have you ever had issues with ink bleeding over time, even with permanent markers? I haven’t personally, but it’s always a nagging thought with fabric projects.
