About Diane Harris
I'm Interactive Editor for Quiltmaker magazine in Golden, Colorado, USA. For six years, I've been writing pattern instructions and product reviews, and doing a host of other tasks necessary to help produce a national pattern magazine. Now I work remotely from rural Nebraska to generate some of our online content. I manage the QM Scrap Squad, our blog tours and our Quilt-Alongs. I have one of the best jobs in the world.
I also print out labels using Word and a favorite font on to regular printer paper. Then I use my light table, placing the fabric for my label (ironed to freezer paper or starched for stability) over my printed paper, and trace with a permanent marker. This way it looks hand-written (more personal) and with the printed label to follow, my handwriting looks great!
