Quilts With Storm or Hurricane Themes
During this season of storms and hurricanes, quilters might incorporate these themes into their creations. Some of the traditional quilts of years ago also were inspired by events in nature. They include Storm at Sea, North Wind, Four Winds, Falling Timbers, Ocean Waves, and Streak of Lightning.
Today’s fabric artists may recreate storm scenes or combine colors that give an energizing, even stormlike appearance. Because of the brilliant color combinations in Kumiko Sudo’s quilts, some may bring to mind the vibrancy and action of storm.
Her book, Harmonies and Hurricanes: Color and Line in Japanese Quilts will give you some ideas for designs of your own.
Other quilts, although not resembling nor recreating storms, may be used to raise funds for storm disasters or aide people who need comfort.
