Prices of "wide format" printers have come down a lot, many under $200, some as low as $125. Most print out @ maximum size of 13" x 19", but a few will print out from a roll, so would be longer than 19". That's pretty good for someone who doesn't want to put pieces together. I do not (yet) know whether you would need a certain ink for colorfastness...which may dictate which printer is best for a quilters applications.
This "barn quilt" has renewed my interest in preserving important photos in cloth; thanks <debcavan>, your story & quilt are inspirational. After my son graduates in a month & things slow down...I plan to learn more & give it a try.

Beautiful way of recording local history. I like the border a lot.
A few years ago my brother photographed a barn in my neighborhood and painted me a picture of it, and the same thing happened--within a year the barn was torn down. I am saddened when that happens. I understand that the cost of maintaining them is impossibly high. Just wish there was some other solution.

Be very proud! That is a God given talent. The old barns and large farm houses are almost non-existent any more and that is so sad. I am thankful that I lived in that era and have such fond memories. Thank you for bringing it to life for us!
