Description
Celebrate a well-earned retirement with a personalized retirement quilt label that adds humor, heart, and a meaningful finishing touch to a handmade quilt.
This custom quilt label features the phrase “Say goodbye to tension and hello to your pension” and is personalized with the retiree’s name, the maker’s name, and the year. It is a fun and thoughtful choice for retirement quilts, memory quilts, coworker gifts, family keepsakes, and handmade quilts made to honor a new chapter in life.
Each label measures approximately 3" x 2.25" and is available on cotton or polyester.
Cotton Label Feature
Cotton labels include a temporary HeatnBond backing. This helps reduce fraying when cutting and allows you to temporarily fuse the label in place while stitching, making it easier to position the label neatly before sewing it permanently onto your quilt.
This is a flat quilt label designed to be sewn onto the surface of your quilt.

Cotton vs. Polyester Comparison
Cotton vs. Polyester Comparison
🌿 Cotton (Sew-On) — Recommended
Classic quilting cotton look and feel. Soft, thin, and easy to sew by hand or machine. Best for heirloom, bed, or display quilts with gentle care.
👉 If unsure, choose cotton.
✨ Polyester (Sew-On)
Not quilting cotton. Thicker, non-stretch fabric with a soft, fuzzy (suede-like) feel. Extremely durable and fade-proof. Great for baby quilts, kids’ quilts, and frequent washing. Do not choose if you want a traditional cotton look.

I ordered one retirement, and three wedding quilt labels. They came out perfect! The design and personalization matched the photo on the website, and the quality is great. Lovely way to add something to the back of specialty quilts!
Really fast shipping! Love it!
