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.

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".
