Duh Obviously my fingers does not know the difference between 0 and 4 You are quite correct Rita it should have been 24”x 24”. Glad you are looking out for this senior

No excuse but I had to make arrangements to get my car uplifted on a repair trailer tomorrow. Not only a big hole ripped in the tyre but damage to the car Luckily I have a protected no claims bonus for life So my head was filled with other things at the time.

Fine by me Maureen. Only thing is the rules say minimum 24 x 24" and max 40 x 40". We wouldn't want anybody to be excluded because they got the wrong size.

As the quilts can be from 24”x 24” to 40”x 40” what about a label something like 8” to 10” square (is that big enough for what you plan to do) with the -

Group name - Whispers across the Pond
Order number of quilt
Name of member
State/County
Country

What does everyone think :

Yeah, otherwise we would have had to call ourselves the Silent Whisperers across the Pond! Not likely to happen here.

Label designs are starting to run through my head, but what size do we need it to be?

By the way, personally I like my kale in Bubble & Squeak - mashed potato & cooked kale mixed together and then fried - yum!

Can I have my wee dram as blackberry whiskey? I have a better chance of getting to it with DH about.... crocus999 wrote: Well what do you expect we are not allowed to talk about the quilts (& construction won't be starting until Oct . anyway) and we need to talk about something

I've never printed a label, in fact I've never printed any fabric

Mine will be labelled with whatever design you folks come up with, they sound really interesting.

Thanks for sharing the way you print your label Nancy. That's very clever. I'm going to add this to my list of tips and tricks

Maureen - Either way for getting the 100 word description to you works for me. I think it should be whichever seems easier for you, since you will have to deal with it all. We are kind of on the same wavelength today since I just bought a new set of tires this morning. The pocketbook is a lot lighter, but it'll be welcome once the big snows get here!

I'm happy to put my own label on or let Maureen do it. Again, whichever she prefers. When I'm printing a single label, I cut a piece of the printer fabric a little bigger than my final label, then tape it to a piece of regular printer paper using scotch tape around all of the edges. I print the label on the paper first so that I know where to position the fabric. Then I just run it through the printer again and print the label without wasting any fabric.

It's fun to see how excited we all are for this challenge!

Nancy

Holy moly! This thread just has a life on it's own. But seems like we are in the same wave length here

Love your idea of the map for the label Rosemary and if Lois idea can be added to it , it'll be great

I'm sorry to hear about the tire blowing. Must've been scary. Thankfully the closest I've came to that has been a truck in front of our car getting a tire blown. It was a good thing there wasn't a car in the next lane and the driver managed to keep the control. So glad you're safe

Marilyn, hope those fires get soon under control. Stay safe

A wee dram or two sounds just the thing to me! Also good for the flu I believe...
Rosemary, if you're ready to tackle that label and need a bit of graphic tweaking here or there, feel free to send me your layout and idea, and I can help tweak in illustrator, indesign or photo shop... I've many of the graphic programs that we use at work to help... Just let me know (unless of course it's against the rules having an outsider help)

Yes, and the wee dram might make you better able to deal with all of us. I am sure you must be thinking, "What did I get myself into!" As you read you will see that I had a similar surprise regarding the number of pages that accumulated while I was gone from the cite. I am still not sure if I might have missed something important. What do we chatter about? So very sorry about the tire.

Rosemary, are you up for designing a label with the groups name on it and a space for the makers name and where she is from on it. Your Wott one was terrific. You could always email it to everyone and then they could put their name etc on it and print it out and sew it on their quilt. Or better still, email it to me and as the quilts come back to me I will add their names, print them off and sew them on the quilt. That way I could print up a page at a time instead of just one label.
