Labels Fun!

Look look!

My first printed quilt label :)

"The 12 Days of Christmas"

QAL @TQC

Size: 3 1/2" unfinished

Thank you Sheryl for hosting 

this wonderful QAL!

I had so much fun everyday 

in the past 12 days with everyone :)))

As finishing up this charming quilt last night,

I was wondering if I want to try making

my own quilt labels with the ink jet printer?

Hot off the printer!!

There seems to be a lot of websites like

here you can refer to how to make them.

Basically all you need to do is

 make your own design using

 "Word" or something in your computer

(I used free graphic arts from the internet.),

then prepare the muslin ironed with

a letter size freezer paper.

Now you are ready to print out your 

own labels through your printer!

I'm not sure if the ink will bleed or not

if the quilt is washed, 

but just let's hope not!

Hoping to attach the binding strip

later today or tomorrow to finish it :D

And ass you may notice,

I'm not going to use the blue fabric like

Sheryl used for hers from the kit.

Instead, I'm using "red" of course!!

And another quilty fun 

I'm planning for this year is to make 

those cute house block - 3" finished,

 with 1300+ quilters over the blogland.

"Building Houses from Scraps"

hosted by Jeanneke.

I think I will make one or two blocks

each month in reds x tans to make mine

as a Christmas house mini at the end.

I may throw some greens to make it

looks even more Christmassy?

We never know!

As for how to make

those tiny houses,

I will use the paper piecing method.

I'm not a paper piecing kind of girl,

but thought it will be a good practice

for me to get used to eventually.

More and more Christmassy fun follows...
