introduction

As you complete each priceless quilt, a story is waiting to be told. You’ve invested so much of yourself, your time, and your creativity. How can you ensure that your quilt’s history is told and remembered as it’s passed from hand to hand? And if you’re giving your quilt as a gift, how can you make the presentation even more impressive and meaningful?

The HP Custom Quilt Label Kit is the perfect solution, allowing you to create one-of-a-kind, professional-quality labels for your quilt to ensure that its story is told and its quilter is remembered. And, as a perfect companion to each quilt, you can make a coordinated, high-quality gift card conveniently and economically.

The HP Custom Quilt Label Kit contains:

•A variety of layouts for Story Labels and Made-By Labels

Story Labels are 8 1/2” x 11” labels for sharing a story, poem, verse from a song, or the fascinating details of your quilt. For example, is it for a particular occasion? Does the fabric you’ve selected have spe- cial meaning? How did you piece it together?

Made-By Labels are smaller-sized labels (four labels on an 8 1/2” x 11” sheet) that contain essential information like your name, the date the quilt was completed, and the occasion. They can also include your photograph.

•Easy-to-use layouts for gift cards that match the labels and add a truly unique touch to a quilt that you’re presenting as a gift.

•Hundreds of high-quality images and clip art for use in your labels and gift cards. Images, phrases, clip art, borders, and backgrounds are grouped into various “themes” to help narrow your search for appropriate artwork and phrases.

•Carefully crafted phrases for expressing your thoughts in Story Labels or gift cards.
