How do you design your quilt labels? I use Adobe Illustrator. I import some of my favorite fabric images from the collection used to make the quilt. I then use the Live Trace & Live Paint functions to isolate elements of the fabric that please me. Adobe will even tell you the colors used in the fabric so that your quilt label complements the quilt perfectly. Here is a quilt label sheet I pre-designed for my Terrain quilts. I will modify the actual verbiage of the quilt label when I finish the quilt, name it or know who it's for. Enjoy! Perhaps a tutorial soon!
Oh would you Please, labeling is such a drag but so necessary. I never feel like it suits the work I put into the quilt. This sounds like it would give the process and the finished product the punch it deserves.
ReplyDeleteYes, a tutorial - Quilt Labels for Dummies!
ReplyDeletePlease do a tutorial. I am always looking for a new way to make my labels especially an easy way.
ReplyDeleteWould love a tutorial. These are fab! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I've made one printed lable using my computer, but it bled when a drop of water got on it. I had even heat set it with my iron, but it still bled. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI second what Mary on Lake Pulaski said. :-)
