Quilt labels have been a real source of irritation for me. I really don't like the way a label looks when you write on the fabric. I started using my computer to print out labels on the printed treasures paper and was really pleased. Thanks to Jen from cre8tive quilter finding It's mine usa www.itsmineusa.com I found an affordable ready made woven label I can buy in bulk, They are great! So I thought I would post about some other options I found that worked. Yesterday I found a cd of vintage victorian images at www.kirkcollection.com/vintagesewing.html there's 171 images you just print right off your printer and not just for labels, there is also a another cd here for making a quilt journal, very nice!
Another one I found where you order on fabric or download the image was at www.ezhomearts.com lots to see here.
I also had bought the HP custom label cd and it's okay but I did have difficulty getting exactly what I wanted but also works for making a gift card and you can customize your text and import your own images.

Wow!! So which label did you end up going with?
How exciting!!
Did you see the current of Mark Lipinski's Quilter's Home? His "posse" (product testers) tested 4 different fabric to print on - Printed Treasures, EQ Printables, June Tailor's sheets and Miracle Fabric Sheets. They liked June Tailor's best.
I've been using counted cross-stitch fabric for my labels, backstitching the letters. You can see my latest example of that on my Quilting Links page - here is the link to the Van Gogh's View label - http://mamanance.info/quilting/index.htm#van%20gogh The biggest disadvantage of this is that it takes a good bit of time to do it!
Thanks for all the information! I will have to try some of these sites.
