One of my generous quilting friends gave me a panel several
years ago; white cotton fabric with four quotes about music printed in black
with a pretty calligraphic font. I hung onto it for some time, not sure what to
do with it. I dug through my scrap bag and for fabric to frame them, turning the
quotes into 12” Sawtooth Album blocks. For a while I toyed with the idea of joining
them into a single wall hanging, but eventually I decided they were more useful
on their own. I’ll display them one at a time in my music studio, changing them
with the seasons. This first one is a quote by German-Jewish poet Berthold
Auerbach, who also said, “The little dissatisfaction which every artist feels
at the completion of a work forms the germ of a new work.” Though, of course,
he probably said it in German.
