The ideas are endless for creating a quilt label using your laser printer. The technique is simple. First cut a 8-1/2 x 11 piece of freezer paper. You can measure it or trace around a piece of your regular printer paper and cut it out. Next, iron the freezer paper on muslin. Cut the muslin to the exact size of the freezer paper. Get your label design ready to print and simply feed the fabric with backing through the printer as you would a regular piece of paper. And, there you have it!
There are many ideas for the label design. First, you don't have to make the label the full size of the freezer paper. You can cut it down to make several labels or any shape, like a flower. By scanning in pictures of the quilt recipient or the quilt artist, you can really get a custom look by having a photo on the label. Get creative by using different fonts, clip art and on line photos.
You can use this technique to create picture blocks, too!

Hi there,
Just incase it is of any interest to you, a while back i came across a british labels company who sold me a batch of laser labels for a really low price. If you are at all interested then it may be worth taking a look at their website.
