I think the idea of contacting a quilting guild is a good one. However, you do have a machine.... If you print the pics on one of the products mentioned (I used Printed Treasures - the green package to be sewed - got them at Joanns.) When it says peel paper off after 1 or 2 minutes make sure you do, it is hard to get off after that.
Anyway, I'll bet between the two of you, you and your daughter could manage to sew simple squares together, we will walk yo though it. Then you could tie it rather than quilt it and you dad would love it. There are lots of beginner sewing and quilting videos on You Tube and other sites.
If I can do anything to help, let me know. PM me if you need to. I think it is awesome that you want to do this for you dad...better late than never.
