Those are nice. If you're into quilting and want to have some original artwork of yours made into fabric these folks will make up yards of custom 60# broadcloth for you:

I've been thinking about having some of my art made into cloth since I'm not into quilting just as a tapestry would be neat.

That is pretty neat - design your own fabric like that. I've seen at Wal-mart where they put a photo onto a rug or towel or something, but I like this better.

I didn't design this fabric -- I purchased it. There's a lot of novelty fabric out there for quilting.

Pretty neat but I thought you were a little young to be a Beatles fan

My sister-in-law is into quilting with some of her friends. Check out the custom quilt I had made for my wife.

Nothing like a warm quilt for the bed in the winter. Well, winters that see cold that is

I also listen to Mozart and he's before my time too.

35 isn't that young, and anyway, you're never too young to be a Beatles fan!

I listen to Bach!

He's about 400 years old.

If they did, I'd buy those too!

I haven't seen the Monkees, but I have seen the Jetsons.

I'm just about to start my very first quilt, Kevin, so it'll be a while before I'm experienced enough to use these.

I got more fabric in!

I find it surprising that they have so many Beatles fabrics available.Do they have other bands also?Did you do the afghan that is in first set of pics?It is nice.

the last one reminds me of "a day in the life" from the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album

"4000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire"

@Kevin: I haven't seen any other bands, but then I haven't been looking. There are more types of quilting fabric available than you can possibly imagine. For example, check out the site for the catalog I ordered the second set of fabric from: http://www.keepsakequilting.com.

Yes, I crocheted that afghan. Thank you.

@hob: It's the "Sea of Holes" from Yellow Submarine. Most of these fabrics are based on that movie. But as I recall, when they were popping in and out of those holes one of them paraphrased a line from "A Day in the Life" -- "as many as it takes to fill the Albert Hall".
