TGIFF Another Quilt Another Label

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!

I really like how clearly you have explained the topic of hindi alphabet on your website. It makes learning very easy for beginners and helps understand the basics step by step.

I really appreciate your detailed explanation of hindi grammar on this website. Everything is written in a very simple and structured way, which makes it easy for students of all levels to understand grammar rules without any confusion. It is especially helpful for beginners who are just starting their Hindi learning journey.

Love seeing the label process in action—it’s the part I always rush, but you make it feel like the finishing touch it deserves. I’ve been using a similar trick with my own quilt tags, check out https://aivideomeme.com

Love seeing the label process in action—it’s the part I always rush, but your step-by-step makes me want to slow down and do it right. I’ve been using a similar method for my own quilts, and it’s a game-changer. Check out https://aimusic-video.com

Love that you're keeping the label game strong—it's the unsung hero of every quilt. I've been using a fabric pen that saves my sanity on those tiny label details, check out https://animatediff.net
