I too do a lot of charity quilts, but do other things too. I make quilts for family, pocketbooks, table runners, etc. I love to sew, especially quilting.
I've done several memory quilts with pictures. It's really quite easy. You have to purchase the fabric used for photos ( you can get it at the quilt shops or on- line ) . It isn't cheap so be careful and print it out on paper first to make sure it's what you want. At least that's what I do. You just follow the instructions on the package it comes in. I've never had a problem with it.
