Patchwork. Main course. Lesson 19. Authorship

Send

It is advisable to sign the completed work - in case it is intended for someone as a gift, presented at the exhibition exposition or at the competition.

It is possible that over time descendants will be interested in it, and for this reason it will also be worthwhile to perpetuate the author’s name. The easiest way is to sign the work on the back with a indelible pencil. But there are many more elegant ways. You can create a special draft commemorative plaque indicating the author’s name, date, name of the quilt and, perhaps, a small personal message from the artist. Such a plate is sewn onto the back of the quilt after performing decorative stitches or before proceeding with it: the second option is more reliable, since the plate grasped by the stitch will never come off.
On sale there are special blanks for this kind of plates. But you can make a tablet with your own hands - using embroidery, painting on fabrics and indelible motifs.
