Lady in Water by Betsy ArcherFrom Our Readers

The rug hookers in my family had a challenge: Songs of the Beatles, a personal interpretation of a Beatles song.The idea may be have been a challenge, but when it comes to hooking…All You Need is Love.
This was a "Beatles" challenge between my two sisters-in-law and me. I happened across this while reading a novel and thought it was an excellent saying. We all shine on, in the moon and the stars and the sun...
As the third sister in the "Beatles Challenge", I created a rug with references to 11 Beatles songs and one album. The challenge for the viewer is to find all 12 references.
This is the first in a series I am doing as a tribute to the Beatles and my youth! Eleanor Rigby is the title of the rug and the inspiration for the design - I have just finished whipping Octopus' Garden and will photograph and post.
I made a rug for our 45th wedding anniversary using what we have said to each other for all these years. "Have I told you lately that I love you", which is also the title of a Rod Stewart song. When I first heard the song I became a fan.
My Dad used to sing to my Mom, as she played the piano, and their favorite song was: "There's a tree in the meadow with a stream drifting by, I carved upon that tree, I'll love you til I die." This is the setting from the song, with my their great grandchild enjoying it.
