Photo Knit Quilt


Subject: new photothrow items


Hello PhotoThrow customer:
I wanted to take some time and make you aware of our spring sale.
Dont forget to check out the new Mother's Day throws as well as the specials on the websites that we offer.

In addition, it is time for another new item, We call this one the Photo Knit Patchwork Quilt

Many people have asked us to combine photos and /or make a collage of some kind. I know that some people have tried to do so but with some limitations and problems. Most collages fill a standard size, for example, a 40" x 60" and then the customer tries to fill in the space with the pictures that are needed for the item. The problem with this is that the more the pictures, the smaller each one gets.

Well we have come up with a way to answer that and produce something that is truly unique and exciting.
Rather than have each picture get smaller, why not have each person or subject be the same size?

Rather than make the customer fit into a particular size, why not make something that is UNLIMITED?

Yes, you read that correct !!!
The throw we are talking about is an UNLIMITED size and an UNLIMITED number of subjects in the throw.
Here's how it works:
there are 2 versions to choose from, a 40" wide (3 pictures across) or a 60" wide (4 pictures across).
Each item has a base charge ($15 for the 40"; $20 for the 60")
Then, you pay $15 (40" wide) or $20 (60" wide) for each row of subjects that are to be knit into the PhotoThrow Patchwork.

For example, say you have a picture of a school class of 22 children. We would take each of those children and place them into their own area of the throw. In the example of 22 subjects, there would be 8 rows for the 40" wide (approx. finished size = 40" x 100") or 6 rows (approx. finished size = 60" x 90")
Each picture area measures a generous 11" x 11" and we can go to an UNLIMITED height for an UNLIMITED number of subjects.The bottom has a 6" area for any lettering that you want.

This means that if you needed a team picture of 100 people in it, we could do it and each subject would be the same size.(The final result would be a throw approx. 60" wide by 350").

This might seem a bit confusing at first so please dont hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to explain to you all the benefits and details.
See the sample here:


Some restrictions will apply. For example, only 1 subject (person, dog, etc) to a square.
Also, please remember that while these sample images show only 3 rows high, we can make an UNLIMITED amount of rows.
These will both be in the Original PhotoThrow section of the distributors pages.
As always, thanks for all your support
