Labels for quilts and crafts can be as simple as signing or quilting your name and the date to attaching a piece of fabric with many details. Signing with indelible ink or embroidering your name on the item makes it more permanent. A label can be removed.

There also are ready made labels you can purchase and then simply sign your name with permanent ink. Applique these to the back of your quilt or fabric art.
Computerized labels have come into vogue and enable you to add more information to your quilt. Simply print directly on inkjet fabric sheets, then stitch to the back of your fabric art.
Label designs are available online at quilting websites. Print these off and use for your template. Sometimes you can print them directly on the fabric sheets available for your printer.
There are quilt books, too, that offer label suggestions and designs.
(Also, keep the information about your quilts and art work in a journal that refers to the items you’ve made.)
How do you label your quilts and fabric art, as well as other craft work?
