what to say about this supergroup? go and listen!!!

i feel free, white room and sweet wine are just samples for the wonderful songs of this band which existed way too short!!

anyway, anyhow, anywhere
i loved that song, as at this time i definitely could not choose where to go or how to live!!! it was such a promise in hard times. (no, i would not want to have that time back!)

at the bottom a line from join together with the band.

btw – no, i did not handdye the background fabrics. they are all storebought. by myself;) – i can choose now:))

i decided to begin with the who - as the line of their song “my generation” seemed to make a perfect subtitle for the book: this is the music of my generation, my youth, and i still love it and have it in my ears (which are half deaf – guess why!! — oh, by the way, i also liked “guess who”, which found no place in the book…)

when limp bizkit (the music of my elder son) had a big hit with behind blue eyes in 2003, i got sentimental as that was a hit from the who back in 1971. great song on the great album who´s next.

some of the pics in the book will be open on top to make a pocket – for tags etc to come… one day:)

i´ve started sewing at the fabricbook meanwhile. the good thing is: working on this i do not need the diningtable (and make a mess there, every family member complaining i do occupy it), so i can sew for ten minutes, put it aside – and sew on when i find another ten minutes… that´s why i love handsewing! (ok, i´m not good with the machine… and i suppose it should get some repair, but too lazy to carry it there…)

here you see the cover. most of the pics i use come from the internet, printed on white fabric.

i wonder who designed this background-fabric. s/he for sure was not alive in the 60ies LOL! or how can anybody mix up the sign for peace with the mercedes-benz logo?! – maybe i should take a fabric pen and give it a little correction;) !

nothing to show yet, but things went on well yesterday. i spent 3 hours ironing songlyrics onto dyed cottontwill. will have to buy more of this tomorrow, 5 yards were not enough;) — also ironed batting on every second page (so there will be one layer of it between front- & backsides). there will be 28 pages in the book, so i have to sew together 14 fronts & backs. and before there will be a lot of sewing of pics and lyrics (i only could iron on the lyrics to the lightfabric pages directly; the cottontwill must be sewed…). this will take a lot of time for sure, but it is something i can do in the garden (at least the handsewing part) and i will upload the pages steadily when they are finished. so stay tuned:)
