I like the idea putting labels on my quilts but the ones I've made are rather uninspiring and so mostly I don't. I've read my Quilts of Virginia book cover to cover (loved it!!) and some of the quilts in it are signed in this way. I thought it would be fun to try.
Can you make out the initials in this picture? lol It's on page 61 if you have the book. Anyway, now that the date is there I better get this quilt done in 2010! :0) Happy Quilting!!

I like the idea of quilting in the date. I have watched a quilt appraiser at work several times. She always asks if the quilt owner has checked to see if there are initials or a date in the quilting. She then takes a magnifying glass and starts checking for it.
Awesome idea. That's what Yvon has always done with his cross-stitching and I've started with my projects.
JLO brings someone else to mind though, I must say. I think it's J'Lo, but still, I think it's taken. :-)
I love that idea, I've seen it on old quilts too but I had forgotton about it until you merntioned it. I'm definitely going to do this on some quilts.
Oh Wow! I love this idea. How very cool. I never thought of that. Now I'm going to stamp it onto brain and never forget it. :) hee.
What a great idea and I think your initial block looks terrific!
What a great idea! It looks awesome! And now you HAVE to get it done this year. ha!
Looks great and it is a good idea. On one of my applique quilts I embroidered my name and date near a stem of a flower.
I've quilted in the date on quilts in the past. It's likely to stay put whereas, a label could be removed? Great idea!
I love this when I find it in quilts, I will be doing this soon as well.
thanks for reminding me. I do have that book, I will check later for you and see if I can figure them out!
I love finding surprises in quilts
having the date in a quilt also adds value to the antique quilts I believe or at least then varies the DATE of the quilt.
would love to see more of this quilt your quilting.
