- Have you ever thought about making a quilt with different signatures on it? Kim and Kristina, our Handi Quilter Studio Educators, talk about different ways you can make your own signature quilts. Not only do signatures add a personalized touch, but these quilts also become quite the heirlooms as time goes on!
Love the painters tape idea . When I made one for a wedding I ironed freezer paper on the back to make the fabric more stable to write on . Then paper just peels right off .
Love this episode. I had so smile when I saw your clever painter's tape idea. When my son was in kindergarten, the teacher gave them each a piece of fabric to draw on. She knew I was a quilter, so she asked me to make a quilt of the blocks. Not one was the same size, nor did she mark a seam allowance. That was a tough one to put together. When writing on a piece of fabric with a marker, I slip a piece of very fine sandpaper underneath the fabric. This holds the material steady and makes it a bit easier to write or draw.
Great suggestion with the sandpaper! I will have to try that next time!
I made a signature quilt for my daughter. People signed squares at her wedding shower. Even after instructions they went edge to edge. I took photos of all the squares before sewing the top together.
Way back in the 70s I had a 4th grade class make a signature Quilt by drawing a picture and signing their name using crayons. I ironed each block between fabric to set the crayon. I liked the tape idea.
I’ve made two signature quilts when my daughter had exchange students.
I’ll be at the Road to California Show in January. Was just going to ask if that was one.
I wish I could find out how to do the embroidery signatures.
A lot of the old signature quilts are all done by hand.

Thanks for the list of names! If this quilt was purchased off Ebay, do you know if this quilt is from the Utah area or someplace else? If you feel it's from the Utah area maybe there are Quilt quild's in the area that might know some of the names that are listed in this quilt? Without an idea of the area, it would probably be more difficult to try and track down these ladies with only their name. I spend a lot of time in Ancestry tracking down my family history so this type of research fascinates me but without more info it would be really difficult to find these ladies unless you have an idea of the area to look at. Thanks, Janice
Sharpies do not last after multiple washes
Did you ever post a list of all the names on the signature quilt that was hanging up behind you?
I just added the list of names in a comment Janice. Please let me know if you do happen to know any of these people. Thanks!
