Label all the things!

I actually did this awhile ago but haven't blogged about it yet. Way back here I blogged that I wanted to redo the label on my son's Christmas gift and put a label on his first birthday gift. Well I finally got around to it about a year ago.

All 4 designs on an 8"x8" sample

When I made the label for Joseph's pinwheel quilt I also made labels for 3 other quilts. I printed all 4 labels on a 8" x 8" sample from Spoonflower using the Kona option as the base fabric. And I have to say, they are holding up very well!

The first two you haven't seen yet, they are for his Christmas and first birthday presents.

These next two you have already seen but here they are again.

I also used Spoonflower to make labels for Grandpa's memory quilt and the shirt pillows. In this case I printed a single design on a fat quarter to have enough for everything.

I love working with Spoonflower. It's so easy to create a label and have it printed on quality fabric that will last through lots of washings. With all the quilts I am working on and written down on my 'someday must sew' list, I will definitely be using Spoonflower to create special labels for each of them.

Alexander's Quilt

My son turned one in February and I wanted to give him something special for his very first birthday. I decided to make him a quilt when I found this adorable sailor puppy fabric and a matching anchor fabric at Joann's Fabrics. My husband was in the Navy and I was able to talk him into letting me use a few of his patches and cut up one of his old uniform shirts. This particular shirt was very sentimental to him, as it's been with him since boot camp and to him it represents his time in the military. The other fabrics I used were either fat quarters I found that fit the theme and some adorable sailboats I found on eBay along with a NWU top I bought at a thrift store. All in all, it turned out great for my first quilt but the best part is that my son loves to snuggle in it. Can't ask for anything more.

The fabric I used on the back is called "Rain Spots" and I believe it's from Alexander Henry. I got really lucky the day I found it, it has all the colors of the quilt in it and I haven't seen it in store since.
