I know, 2 in a row - don't faint!
If you've followed me, you know that I am the co-founder of a group, Quilters for Comfort. - If you click on the tab you will find out the information. - We have a couple new members and a question has come up about labeling the quilts for donation.
QFC started originally when we were all members of an on line machine embroidery site and someone came up with a label that simply states, "Lovingly made by Quilters for Comfort". And because at the time, many of the quilts were made by more than one person. Someone would send embroidered blocks, another would send 'filler' blocks to an assembler who would construct the quilt then the quilt would be sent on to someone to quilt and bind. (yes, the postal service loves us!) As this group has grown, we still have many quilts made by many hands but we also have some who make an entire quilt, start to finish, on their own. I understand the 'signing' your work. You've worked on something you're proud of, you sign it. Here's where I get concerned --- When you're not sure who is going to receive that donated quilt, do you really want your full name on it? I personally do not but I'm interested in if I'm a minority on this issue.
If you do quilts for charity, do you put your full name on it? What is your opinion of this topic?

I wouldn't want my full name on it either - how about the quilter's initials or first name and last initial - something like "Lovingly made by (first name, last initial) for Quilters for Comfort" - that might work - ;))
P.S. - I almost DID faint - haha - ;))
