TGIFF Another Quilt Another Label

Nov 13, 2025
2 min read



This week I'm getting ready for the Signature Line "Under the Sea" I'm representing from Island Batik. This beautiful fabric collection is matching my soft, cool attitude about the onset of winter.


I recently moved my business and family to the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon and the rainy season is in full swing! After 19 years in Arizona, we're loving it and those lovely cool colors all around us are enchanting.




As usual, I'm a little behind on finishing labels, but with Bumbershoots getting ready to ship for its first trunk show in a few weeks, it's time for a label and a little final prep for her debut.


This time, I'm working on a fused label with some hand stitching to have fun with the outline of the image. I'm using my Creative Label Making Worksheet (a free download on my website).





I'm setting up with my Zig Writer (washable archival marker) to get the details of this quilt on a label and get ready to fuse.



I chose a lighter fabric for the top of the umbrella along with a bright green handle so it would stand out on the dark backing material. The fusible paper was a great way to set up some straight lines to keep my writing neat with the aid of my light box.


To see how I set up my reminders and kept notes with my worksheet, as well as the use of my Oliso M3Pro for fusing, watch this new video I'm adding to my Creative Label making Playlist today.


I'm happy to have this latest beauty finished and ready to head off to the quilt shop right here in Oregon that scheduled it for a trunk show this December! Be sure to check back on my site right after Thanksgiving to find the Bumbershoots pattern and get started on your own gorgeous umbrellas!


And Now for the extra fun part of TGIFF, the part where you show us all what you're finishing this Friday! Please include a link or button to tgiffriday.blogspot.com in your post so your visitors can see everyone's finishes too and be sure to check out the links of other participants this week!

The fused label with hand-stitched outline is such a smart way to make the finishing feel personal rather than an afterthought, and using the light box for straight writing on dark backing is a trick I’m filing away. Moving from Arizona to the Willamette Valley sounds like a big shift, but those cool underwater tones in the collection must feel right at home in the rain. I was poking around https://casinomifinity.net while thinking about how place shapes color palettes, and it made me notice how much my own surroundings creep into fabric choices.

I love how you give each quilt a personal touch with a thoughtfully designed label. Adding the maker’s name, date, and signature makes every finished project even more meaningful. Creative details always make hobbies more enjoyable, just like exploring new ideas in gaming. If you enjoy car games, https://carparkingmultiapk.com/ shares content about Car Parking Multiplayer. Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilting work!

Quilting is a wonderful way to turn creativity, patterns, and colors into something truly unique. Each design reflects personal expression, much like choosing an outfit that stands out from the crowd. For those who enjoy bold seasonal fashion, the Day of the Dead Halloween Sugar Skull Suit offers a creative way to celebrate Halloween with eye-catching artwork and festive character. It’s a fun option for themed parties, costume events, or anyone looking to add something different to their Halloween wardrobe.

A long browsing session can become tiring when every new page requires extra effort to understand. I kept that in mind while checking dm win and moved through several sections instead of looking at just the opening page. Neha prefers layouts where the important options remain easy to recognize, particularly on smaller screens. That kind of design can make a noticeable difference. Rather than constantly figuring out where to go next, users can concentrate on understanding the information and deciding which sections are actually relevant to them.

Promotional codes can sometimes be confusing when the instructions are spread across different pages. While looking into the singham lottery promo code, I noticed that having the code details, usage instructions, and applicable conditions together makes the information much easier to understand. Neha usually checks these small details before trying any promotional offer, and that approach makes sense here as well. A clear explanation can save users from entering an incorrect code or overlooking an important requirement during the process.
