Sunday Quilt Inspiration: W E A T H E R

Here's to scheduling a post and forgetting to check on it: apparently I do not know how to schedule nor do I have the memory to check. So a day late...apologies everyone!

Weird weather? Inspired quilts!  Here's hoping you're not having weird weather. Well, nothing worse than our strange hot-today, cold-tomorrow, stuff.  

Bad weather can make good photos, but it can also damage your gear. Protect your camera in extreme weather using these tips.:

I wore long sleeves and a sweater this morning and kicked up a sweat (without the sweater) walking this afternoon. No more of that craziness...I'm keeping an old tee close so I can change quickly when the weather mood strikes.

Camille Seaman is a photographer, born in 1962 in the USA, chasing extreme weather across the country and capturing it at its peak. Some of her clients include National Geographic Magazine & Newsweek.:

Now this...this is just terrifying! Give me the misery of humidity and mosquitoes any time. Yes, the mosquitoes are just as annoying in January as they are in July.

So, a storm at sea quilt surely goes into the weather-inspired stack, right?

Kathy Loomis glacier quilt: Last year I was privileged to go to Antarctica. I've always been a lover of cold weather and the big ice we saw, sailed around and walked upon was breathtaking. I was fascinated by the myriad of colors of blue in the ice, the veins of dirt, the complex fracture patterns as chunks cleave and break away. I attempted to depict these fascinations in my quilt "Big Ice."":

  1. Such wonderful weather photographs--the last one of the Golden Gate Bridge is magical. And all of the weather-related quilts are beautiful. My favorites are the glacier quilt and the umbrella quilt. Such different approaches, styles, and colors, but the two I would choose to own.
