Labels
It is important to 'sign' your quilt.
You can do that in many ways.
A label is one way.
Here is a paper-pieced bunny I made in 2004. Love the ear!
Happy Easter.

Con Affetto
I sometimes give titles to my quilts.... a friend of mine thinks it is awfully pretentious! :-) This one is called Con Affetto.
It means, with affection and comes from the note my Veronese friend wrote me. She is the one who gave me the hand-dyed heart I inserted in this quilt. Marina Tavella is an accomplished textile artist and teaches the dying workshop for my Verona Textile Trip.
The title also worked as over 100 half-square-triangles were 'by-products' from the Valentine's quilt...with affection. By 'by-products' I mean the secondary pieces that came out of making the X's and O's.
The back will be "quiet". Simple.
I will be teaching triangles at Eweknit next weekend. (April 22, 2017)
