A replacement rubber stamp for labels
I didn't get anything done last evening because I went to the funeral home. My nephew, Michael the musician, girlfriend's father passed away. He had cancer for several years and was only 59. I was there for a couple hours visiting with the girlfriend's family, my brother, SIL, nephew and lots of friends of the band who showed up. Once I got home, I picked up the mail which included the rubber stamp I had bought. I can now get the label made for the green zig zag quilt. The rubber stamp that I use for my labels is worn out. It reads "One who sleeps under a quilt is comforted by love".
I was lucky last week to find one that was hardly used on ebay. The information said that this stamp was made in 1999. I had looked in the past for one of these with no luck so I was shocked when this one popped up. I guess I got my money's worth out of the first one!
I decided to test it out with the new ink pad and ink I bought.
The ink on my old ink pad was goopy and thick. With a worn stamp and sticky, goopy ink, I was getting very bad impressions.
Now on my search for a punch, I found what I think will work and once it arrives, I will post about that.

I quit writing labels when the ink faded even though it was archival and allegedly for this purpose. Now I thread write my name and date on them. That said, your stamp is much cuter. Love the saying.
How wonderful to find a replacement stamp….you can hardly read the old one! I’m sorry about the loss of Michael’s girlfriend’s father.
Sheesh….that was my comment!
it never occurred to me that your labels are stamped - i thought they were printed fabric and i kinda wondered how many panels you bought cuz you never seemed to run out - ha ha ha - yep, there i go, thinking again...
my across-the-street neighbor hosts a group of women each week that park in front of my house - one of the cars has sticker that says "fuck cancer" - who can argue with that? give your nephew's friend a hug from me...
