Looking for source of custom throws with landmark photos

I have a 50 x 60 cotton throw that looks like it is hand
embroidered with our courthouse picture, statutes and other county symbols
on with lettering for each in red and white.  Do you know what it could be
worth and how to get more made?


Hi Jan,

Sounds like you're talking about custom throws woven on a loom
representing local landmarks.

Here's one example:

http://www.presspublications.com/weekly-features/168-people/3352-landmarks-featured-in-full-color-cotton-throw

There are companies who make these by scanning in photos and producing
these to your specifications.

If the throw is really hand embroidered, then someone locally used a
similar process of printing off landmarks to make a pattern, then adding
embroidery.

Hand-embroidered throws are much more valuable, especially if they are
signed and dated. You can contact Julie at the Quilt Complex for an
appraisal.

Best regards,

Charlotte

PS I did a quick online search; looks like Signature Creations makes these quilts.
