Tribute to Clarence Clemons by my Sister Lisa

Every artist of every discipline should be lucky enough to have a fan like Bruce Springsteen has in my sister Lisa. I have no idea how many times she has seen Bruce in concert but she is an enthusiastic and devoted fan. She was, understandably, crushed when The E Street Band's amazing sax player Clarence Clemmons died this year. Lisa is an equally amazing quilter. Her quilts are so beautiful and so impeccably crafted they take your breath away. I have two of them and they are treasures. So it came as no surprise when she decided to honor Clarence's passing with a quilt. This is the result:
Is that gorgeous or what? I especially love the fabrics she chose for the border with little musical notes all around it. She just knocks my socks off. Clarence would be proud.


So, Lisa, this is for you:


Thanks for reading.

Just beautiful. As a fellow Bruce fan, I was crushed, as well, by the Big Man's passing. This quilt is truly a work of art.
