As Americans celebrate the inventions and legacies of Africans / African-Americans throughout history this month, reflections of their art, history and cultural traditions can be found in almost every aspect of our society. In recognition of their traditional African fabric textile contributions,  the J&O Family would like to take a moment to highlight some of the beautiful waxed prints and metallics available for your crafting and quilting pleasure.

J&O Fabrics Celebrates Black Music Month!

June is Black Music Month and what better way to celebrate then with some cool novelty music fabrics in honor of the greats of the past and present who took the sonic world by storm in all the top musical genres like rhythm & blues, reggae, jazz, soul, r&b;, neo-soul, classical, funk, doo wop, opera, hip hop, gospel, and rock-n-roll. From such historic greats like Nat King Cole, Billy Holiday, BB King, Leontine Price, the Supremes, Bob Marley, Chubby Checker, Fela Kuti, Mariam Makeeba, Nancy Wilson, and Jimi Hendrix, to popular entertainers of today like Seal, Beyonce, Jay Z, Keb Mo, Morgan Heritage, George Benson, Maxi Priest, Erykah Badu, Bad Brains, and Chris Brown, black music has always been and will always be influential in American culture and the world over.

In honor of the power and unifying ability that music is able to create, we at J&O Fabrics proudly support and recognize the musical contributions of a people rich in tradition, culture and creativity not only during the month of June, but 365 days of the year. Our large selection of music inspired prints are offered in an array of looks and feels that are as affordable as they are appealing.
