Tagssneak peek
In two weeks, we head to the wedding of my cousin! He’s known his bride-to-be forever, and in fact I’VE known her since she was in high school, if that gives you an idea. We’re thrilled to see them getting married and can’t wait to party with that side of the family. Of course, I sewed them a quilt. I need to mail it off to them—but I’ve never mailed a quilt before, so it feels like a Big Deal and I’ve been avoiding it—before I show you the final product, but for now, a peek at the label:
I was inspired by all the typography stuff that’s become so popular lately; it seemed perfect for an embroidery project and would feel “of its time.” Also I didn’t want to cop out like I have in the past! This is a proper label, made separately, hand-stitched on, etc. It helped that I finished the quilt a while ago and knew I had plenty of time before I needed to send it out (that is, I wasn’t staring down a hard deadline). I just used a khaki colored thread that matches the background of the backing, and I like the effect. The solid green is a Kona cotton.

That is GLORIOUS!
Gorgeous! Love the typefaces you chose for the names, and that ampersand is SO pretty!
Lovely! The type and embroidery are beautiful.
Good luck gathering the courage to ship the quilt off through the mail.
Looks fabulous!
Love that! They will too.
I’d be thrilled just to receive a hand stitched label like that as a gift (I’d frame it).
Dude! The label is amazing!
