J&O Fabrics Store Newsletter

Every once and a while we receive letters and pics from our customers around the world who have found a great fabric treasure in between the pages and isles of our fabric store. One such customer is Ms. Barratt from Pennsylvania, USA. Ms. Barratt was in search of the perfect material for a friends baby shower. She wanted something colorful, something with a 'Beatles' theme, and something the baby-on-the-way could use. Well, she found it! And to no surprise, it was a hit with the mommy to be.

Like many musicians and singers of the past, The Beatles have maintained their base of die hard fans long after their group dissipated and members past away. The memories from fans and those who love them most live on in memorabilia, music, live footage, books and even fabric. The kind of fabric that makes for cute crib sheets and colorful baby blankets like the ones Ms. Barratt made from our popular cotton panel.

Ms Barratt only needed to be pointed down the isle of Rock-n-Roll greats before she stumbled on the perfect Beatles cotton novelty print for the special occasion. Sifting past psychedelic yellow submarine designs, all you need is love, and Beatles logo designs, Ms Barratt selected their 'All You Need is Love' Panel for her hand made baby blanket. Trimmed in a rainbow satin material with a baking of yellow stars, her colorful selection was enough to make any rainbow jealous.

With so many themed prints to choose from, the perfect gift for friends and loved ones is just a click and a creative thought away from manifestation with J&O Fabrics at your fingertips. Ms. Barratt is just one of many who have decided to nurture her creative juices and found a helping hand with our wonderful selection of assorted fabrics.

When the Beatles arrived on American shores in 1963, their brand of Rock & Roll wasn't that far removed from the tracks laid down at Sun Studio in Memphis a few years before. By the time the Beatles were done as a group, they had taken Rock & Roll in previously unimagined directions, created a counter culture movement of revolutionary minded youths and taken America by storm! Within no time their songs became contagious hits that had men wearing long hair and protesting the American government, and crazed females from all age groups growing to unbelievable numbers. Not even the elders or the babes were immune from The Beatle virus infecting our music hungry nation. Their sound was upbeat and new, their energy was harmonious, and their look……well, let’s just say, fans far and wide had a hard time keeping their eyes off of them. From a 70 year old woman throwing her bloomers onto the stage at one of their live concerts, to a 22 year old man who wrote over 1000 love letters to each of the members in hopes to win their affections; countless stories have been told. Countless more still lay on the silent but smiling lips of our dearly departed, and in between the pages of our grandmother’s dusty diaries.

The Beatles have even made an impact on fabric too, as can be seen by the new ‘The Beatles’ series of novelty cotton fabrics found sitting right next to America’s famous Rock-n-Roll icon, Elvis Presley right here within the star filled isles of J&O Fabrics. If you are searching for an excuse to go mad and get down a bit, look no further. They’ve descended from their heavenly graves to sing for you once more with all the love they have to give. From memorable songs like ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’, ‘Ticket to Ride’ and ‘Yesturday,’ to such hits as, ‘Hey Jude’, ‘Let It Be’ and ‘Help!’, John, Paul, Ringo & George left enough iconic tunes with us to last a lifetime, and enough love, peace and happiness for the world to eat off of.

There is nothing more nostalgic as the lyrics and rhythmic sounds of an old song, and nothing as pleasing to the soul as the good vibes or mental stimulation that come along with a Beatles tune. So what are you waiting for? Beatlemania is still very much alive, urging the revolutionary and love child in you to come out and play. At the end of a Hard Day’s Night, you owe it to yourself and the millions of fans still praising their names, to resurrect the wild teenager or school girl in you and wrap yourself up in a fabricated orgy of love one more time, for old times sake!
