Before I start, let me explain that I am a little obsessed with quilting and documenting ones quilts, and I don't just mean labelling your quilt.

On Monday, I finished my husband's quilt. It was such a good feeling. Once I was finished I knew the only thing I had left to do was the labeling of the quilt. I love to document my quilts and the quilt label is certainly the most important part of that. All my quilts, so... Continue Reading →
