It seemed to be a Beatle Christmas this year. In my family we pick names and I had my brother's name who is a "music head" So I thought I would make him a Beatles quilt. His basement is filled with all types of music memorabilia. I found the fabric first and of course fell in love with it so I bought it all. Yes, nobody was making anything out of this fabric but moi! I tried to find pictures from all eras which wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. This whole process made me sad as to I used to dance to the Beatles and pretend I could jump through the TV onto the stage and be with them. I was also at Shea Stadium in 1964 begging my father to let me go see them when they played there and nobody could hear a thing. I was only six at the time and we were in New York at the Worlds Fair. But I WANTED to see the Beatles. Back to the story. There were so many pictures I couldn't believe it! So I put the pictures on photo fabric and found one color I had in my stash to frame them in. It was fun and I liked how it turned out. I am going to post a some close ups so you can see them better.
