Hand-made quilt fashioned from photos printed on fabric
A service we provide with our direct-to-garment printer is printing photos on fabric. This service is great for people who want to make a photo quilt, wall hanging, or art project.
Here is an example of an heirloom quilt made from childhood school photos that we printed on fabric. There were twelve children in all (this was a very busy mother!) The photos were resized to all be the same, and a few of the photos, which were taken in color, were converted to black and white for overall consistency.
We added printed names of each child and also a title graphic at the top and bottom of the mother’s photo that appeared in the center block of the quilt. The final quilt measured 60″x60″. It was presented as a gift from all the children on the occasion of the mother’s birthday. It will surely become a treasured family heirloom.
Besides printing graphics for quilts, we also turned this cherished memory of a newborn (the new daddy took the photo) into a beautiful wall hanging. Something like this will be appreciated for generations to come.
Photo for a wall hanging and a lifetime of memories
Once we have a file ready for printing, it can be used for multiple purposes. For instance, the photo for this wall hanging could also be used to print a t-shirt. Files can often be resized for different purposes, particularly downsizing.
