These stickers are used at venues where the Alzheimer's: Forgetting Piece by Piece exhibit is displayed. Our White Glove volunteers "sticker" people (with permission) who come to see the quilts. This is a badge of honor, like an "I Voted" or an "I Gave Blood" sticker.

It is a conversation starter, and encourages people to see the quilts. It is a way those who have seen the quilts to be a mini billboard at the quilt show (and at restaurants nearby when they forget to take them off) letting others know that while this is a difficult and emotional exhibit to see, it is worthwhile.

We always need stickers.

I picked the most readily available printer labels I could find for the stickers. It is the ubiquitous "mailing label" that measures a modest 1" x 2 and 5/8". I bought a pack of self-adhesive, white, store-brand, mailing labels from OfficeMax for $7.49. There were 25 sheets in the pack, 30 labels per sheet, for a total of 750 labels. They are the same labels as Avery #5260. OfficeMax offers two kinds of labels: for use with laser or ink-jet printers. Look down at the bottom of the pack, to the left of the number of labels in the package, or ask for help to make sure you get the right one for your printer.

Obviously, since nothing is ever that easy......make a test on regular paper first to make sure everything lines up, and figure out what setting you need for labels in your printer. You'll probably want to feed them in through the by-pass tray, with a label (thicker paper) setting if you use a laser printer.

If you want to donate the whole pack, that would be terrific. If not, please just print as many sheets as you care to. Use the cardboard package the labels come in to either bring them to the next venue where the quilts will be exhibited, or mail them to me and I'll get them where they need to go:

You can also ship them to me when you donate a Priority: Alzheimer's Quilt.

You have two choices for printing. You can print from a PDF document (preferred) or a Word document. Please select the appropriate button below and email me requesting the file you want. (Print off this page so when you get the file, you'll know what to do.)



Thank you!
