Photo quilts are a wonderful way to remember that special
vacation, to commemorate an important birthday or
anniversary, and to celebrate the lives of those near and
dear to us.  I have made quite a few photo quilts over the
years, and the products available to us today are the best I
have ever seen, giving us a transferred photo that is as soft
as cotton yet extremely colorfast. Prices vary according to
the complexity of the quilt design and well as the number of
photos.
Take a look at the quilts I have made for other wonderful
customers; most are repeat customers, which I hope you will
be too. The photo quilts are fully washable (gentle cycle, no
dryer) and the inks are waterproof.
To special order a photo quilt, first decide how many photos
you would like to use in the quilt, and second, decide on how
large you would want the quilt to be. The photo quilts you see
on this page were almost king sized quilts, which is quite a bit
larger than a traditional lap sized photo quilt. I mention this
because the price of a lap sized photo quilt like the pink and
green sample would cost more in the range of $
450.
Send me an email telling me what you would like and I will
write up a contract. Just as with any of my other quilts, I
would like 1/2 down for fabric expenses. You will receive
emailed fabric swatches for your approval and will be
emailed to keep you up with the progress on your quilt. Of
course, I get very busy starting in October, but I still
manage to have a turn-around time of 6-8 weeks.

This was a high school graduation quilt for
my oldest daughter, Laura. You will notice
that instead of filling the block with 1 of
dozens of different horse fabrics,
I inserted photos of her on her favorite    
horses and also a photo of the wild horses
on the eastern shore of North Carolina that
   we were so lucky to see one summer.
