I would try contacting your closest quilt guild, church quilting group or local quilt store. They all may know of a quilter who could help you with your request. The quilt could be a very simple one consisting of squares or rectangles alternating with the family photos. The photos can be directly printed on specially prepared fabric photo sheets (about $12 for three 8X11 sheets in Canada)cut to size and then stitched into your quilt as part of the overall design. Once the top is constructed, it could be machine quilted for a priceless, so thoughtful gift for your dad. Most communities have a quilting group and I hope you can find a quilter to help you out.
