My DIY Labels...

So I have searched the web and come across many nice labels used on handmade items especially quilts and blankets. I found out about Spoonflower a few months back and I love the endless possibilities this site offers for printing not only fabric but wallpaper, decals, and gift wrap. Jay Bird Quilts has a great tutorial on how she made her labels on Spoonflower and it helped me out a lot. This is what I came up with...

I created these using Adobe Illustrator, a free trial can be downloaded here. This was my first time ever using Illustrator and with the very useful YouTube I figured out enough to make this design. I have other colors along with the yellow as I was curious as to what the other colors would look like. Hopefully they come out nice. I pasted a few repeats on the page and added lines to make for easier cutting to add to the quilts and blankets I make. 

Then uploaded them up to my Spoonflower account and placed an order. I think for my first Illustrator experience I did ok. In hindsight I wish I'd added more empty space around the design so I could write in a date and quilt name if I wanted to. I can't wait to see how they come out.

 

Thanks for stopping by,
