Oz Comfort Quilts' Labels For Bushfire Quilt Appeal.

 I've had some questions about labels so thought I would tell you what I  do for my donation quilts. I use calico and cut a 5 inch square.
 Then cut the square in half diagonally, and press down the long edge.
 Pin the label in place before stitching the binding.
 I sew the binding on and use that to anchor the label along 2 sides.
When completing the binding, I only have to stitch along the folded edge of the triangle and I machine stitch the binding down, making it harder for the label to be removed too.
  I am happy for you to write and stitch a label onto your own finished quilt. You could write: Made with love by Oz Comfort Quilts , your name or first name and surname initial, your state or country, 2020, gentle cold wash and line dry.
   As donations arrive I take photos and document every quilt with details of the sender so I could contact you if we receive a thankyou later. Please don't expect a response though as after donating thousands of quilts, I rarely receive a thankyou as people are experiencing such a traumatic upheaval in their lives that there is often no time and no materials on hand to write a note. I will acknowledge every donation here and on our FB page but I may not have time to write individual thank yous, especially if you don't include your email address.
   I finushed another 3 quilts today so we're making good progress.
Hugs, Jan Mac
